OFFICIAL Big Enes Injury Update/Watch Thread

[addictionary]

This isn't a big deal. He basically has two options. When you fully dislocate your shoulder, you tear the ligaments that help to hold the ball of your shoulder in it's socket. So, his options are:

1 - Put it back in, do some PT to strengthen the muscles, and then play. He will be sore for about a week. The upside to this, is he can play before the end of the year. The downside is now that those ligaments are torn, he will continue to dislocate/subluxate his shoulder throughout his life, need a couple of days to feel better, repeat.

2 - Have surgery to repair the ligaments. If he does this he will be out 6 weeks as it heals, ending his season. BUT, the chances of subluxation/dislocation again are about 5%. If I were him and the Jazz, this is what I would do. This season is shot, I say do the surgery.

Yeap sounds like the 2nd one is the best option from here.

Taking green's description of the options at face value and considering the season, yes, option was is eliminated.

7 footers should not be wrastlin on the floor for loose balls unless the play holds the championship in the balance.
a lesson for you youngins.

good thing it's his shoulder and not his knee.

Hell, it still gives me problems from time to time.

Not what we wanted to hear.

I also never had surgery. The best option for Enes is to opt for surgery.

So you're saying you want the team to tank.

This post passes the smell test for me. I'm a little worried Kanter is too much of a tough guy/dumb kid to get surgery, so here's hoping he is smarter than that.

Hopefully he didn't tear his rotator cuff as well. If that happened it will be the middle of next year until he plays.

Couldn't he pick both options? If he wanted to come back couldn't he just have surgery after the season ends if he comes back early to finish the season?

Typically, your body starts to heal the wrong way if you hold off on it which makes total recovery more difficult if not impossible.

I'm not an expert on the surgery necessity but all I know is repeatedly dislocating your arm is frustrating as it's painful and since he is so young, his regeneration level is at its highest so it should be a good time for it.

That makes sence.
