"Not sure if this is the Jazz PR machine at work here, but the type of surgery he is having (labrum repair) is NOT minor. I had mine done and it didn't feel normal until about 18 months after the surgery, despite intense physical therapy 3 times a week."

I take random people's comments very seriously btw.

I haven't seen in any article or heard that the surgery was a Labrum repair surgery. Where are you getting that he damaged his labrum from? If it is a torn labrum he could be out 4-6 months or longer.

The elephant in the room would be whether his rotator cuff is torn. That could take a couple of years to return from.

It looks like he is going to have surgery for sure, tomorrow:

SALT LAKE CITY (April 9, 2013) – The following is a medical update on Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter:

Following several medical consultations, it has been decided that Enes Kanter will undergo a surgical repair on his injured left shoulder. The procedure will be performed on Wednesday, April 10 in Chicago by Dr. Guido Marra. As a result, Kanter will miss the remainder of the season.

A return-to-activity timeline will be determined following the completion of the surgery.

Kanter (6-11, 248, Turkey/Kentucky) appeared in 70 games (two starts) for the Jazz in 2012-13, averaging 7.2 points and 4.3 rebounds while shooting .544 from the field in 15.4 minutes per game as the second-year center improved his averages in every major statistical category over his rookie campaign. The 20-year-old Jazzman scored in double figures 22 times, with two double-doubles, including a 23-point (10-12 FG), 22-rebound performance in a March 1 win over Charlotte.

Kanter suffered the injury at the 10:23 mark of the second quarter of the Jazz’s 103-88 win over Phoenix on March 27 and has not played since. Prior to his injury, Kanter had seen action in 136 of a possible 138 games over his first two seasons with the Jazz, including all 66 games as a rookie in 2011-12. Kanter was originally selected by the Jazz in the first round (third overall selection) of the 2011 NBA Draft.

I really hope this isn't a really serious injury. Kanter is the centerpiece of my hope that this team will be great again.

You can bet that the Jazz will re-sign Jefferson for sure, now. There is no way they will pass on Jefferson without knowing that Kanter will be 100% next season, and they won't know that by the time of the July FA signings.

Why couldn't of this be Big Al? Oh, that's right because he never dives on the floor for loose balls.

I could only see Big Al dislocating his shoulder by pump faking too hard.

Not sure if you guys saw these.

I wish they would just come out and say what the exact damage is that is getting fixed. It would help a lot if we could understand the full extent of the injury

 

[sepanol]

Sweet, more minutes for Big Al to jack up shots!

I am more concerned if this injury makes Utah sign a new contract with Big al

 

[sepanol]

I really hope this isn't a really serious injury. Kanter is the centerpiece of my hope that this team will be great again.

You know your hope will not come true if we resign with Big Al
