apparently, this particular surgery in roy's case would require an
incision through muscle to access the abnormality. That sounds like it
could have an unavoidable level of risk.

it may come to that, but having a player who misses 6-10 games a year
is better then partially crippling him...or at least risking it.

Is it my imagination or have there been a lot of injuries this
preseason all around the league?

There have been more than normal. It's good to know one of the
league's brightest young stars is not at risk for permanent injury and
doesn't need surgery. With regards to Laurel's post above, I agree
with most of it, but I don't think Roy needs to play to develop. He
only needs to play to become familiar with his teammates. His game is
pretty well rounded and he has a good understanding of what he's
supposed to do on the floor. In short, he's way ahead on the learning
curve.

How is this idea looking so far?
