After more than a month of downtime during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no better time for Bruce Brown to get himself right. The pause in the NBA season, paired with the uncertainty of when — or if — it will resume left the second-year Pistons guard with an opportunity to have thumb surgery and have time to recuperate without missing playing time.
Brown had been having issues with his right thumb all season but had been playing through the pain by having his thumb taped heavily.
He had surgery in late April to replace a ligament and he says he should be fully recuperated in a couple more weeks.
