Meyers Leonard (Shoulder) Likely Out A Minimum Of 4-6 Weeks

Orthopedic surgeon suggests Leonard could miss a minimum of 4-to-6 weeks unless the Blazers opt for season ending surgery.

Jason Quick of CSNNW spoke with orthopedic surgeon Brian Schulz to gauge the recovery time we can expect for Meyers Leonard, who suffered a dislocated shoulder in Wednesday’s 113-101 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Although Schulz has not examined Leonard directly, he suggested that a minimum of 4-to-6 weeks is likely the best case scenario:

"He may try to rehab 4-to-6 weeks, but there is a risk he may dislocate again,’’ Schulz said.
