In the immortal words of Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers, “Really?”
So let me get this straight; the best defensive player in the country gets injured during the third game of the season and undergoes surgery. Reportedly doctors tell him that he might be able to return during the final weeks of the regular season, but that’s not guaranteed.
In the meantime, his specific injury requires rest and as little physical exertion as possible; meaning that if he were to come back, he would not be in the same physical shape and conditioning that he was before he went down.
