  4. Anyone know why he waited to do surgery? Jayson Tatum didn’t wait more than 24 hrs befor announcing his surgery. Did it have to do with the trade deadline?

  7. How much does these surgeries cost the teams in the NBA? Ive always wondered if they get a special discount because you’d figure they must pay millions and millions due to player injuries

  15. Great news. Hope he has a smooth rehab journey and comes back to the court enjoying his basketball. He’s been great for us. I am critical of his passive play at times but he’s a great compliment to Steph and will win a ring if hes 80% of the player next year. 

  16. I was never a fan of Jimmy but I appreciated his dedication to the game. He plays hard and it would be nice to see him win a championship when he ends his career.

  19. Just put him back in. If Lindsay Von can ski with a torn ACL anything is possible. Just get Jimmy that state of the art brace and we good.

  20. You know Jimmy is gonna try his best to recover fully. Dude is a professional. Look forward to seeing him play next season.

  22. So is he going to be available next month or what? /S

    Good recovery jimmy 2026/27 will be our last dance

  26. I hope they stop lobbing him those back of the endzone entry passes when he gets back.

  29. Why did he wait so long to get the surgery? Pretty sure Tatum got his the next day, maybe Hali too, because it supposedly leads to quicker recovery. Has Jimmy been walking around for 3 weeks on a torn ACL?
