Unfortunately Tatum probably has to miss the majority of a year if he gets wrist surgery. Which is why he keeps putting it off lol.
Hopefully technology improves one of these off-season for a shorter recovery time!
A cortisone shot and rest it would seem. I wonder if a PRP shot was involved at all
I feel like people don’t understand surgery is a last resort thing doctors don’t like doing surgery unless it’s completely necessary.
Stress
The question is does he need it. They are making it sound like they told him he needed surgery and he passed on it.
Well Tatum looks cool with the wrist tape. Increased aura.
If he took a lot of time off this offseason then it might be healed for next year. But that will hinder his improvement as well.
He should’ve fuckin done it in the off season.
Good call. Surgery certainly is never a 100% guarantee without side effects. Not to mention learning to shoot again with ping pong paddles strapped to his hands lol
In before we see him holding his wrist all season
I’ve said it before… 1 more crutch to fade…
Y’all can down vote but y’all will see it in the end…
Obviously the doctors know better but just crossing fingers for not another year of periodic wrist talk/worries
I don’t like this, not because he didn’t do it but because usually when there’s an issue like this it ends up coming back.
