Jeff Stotts

We don't know what this iteration of the Suns looks like with Mark Williams because it is a new team.

from last year and the other part of it is this is not necessarily a season ending injury and I want to quote and reference Jeff Stotts who does great work over on Twitter his at is in street clothes which is very aptly titled because he does talk a lot about player injuries specifically basketball and he just says that the average time lost following labrum repair is about 168 days 24 weeks five and a half months but the surgery comes with a high success rate and he named three players who have done pretty well for themselves post-surgery.

Jalen Brunson, this past year's Finals MVP.

Pascal Siakam, oh, another NBA champion.

One, it's notable that he completely did not rule it out.

And two, I did some research with Jeff Stotts' website, In Street Clothes.

He tracks a bunch of N- NBA injuries.

This is a very old study, 2014.
