This board called it when it was questioned that the OG injury was more serious than initially reported. Doesn’t a bone spur usually require surgery to clean out?

Depends. I'm not familiar with elbow bone spurs. You can opt to relief the pressure, which postpones the need for surgery, but surgery is usually the best route. A small incision probably only needs about 1-2 weeks of rest for an athlete.

It depends on several factors that we don't know. Location and severity of the spur dictate treatment. Some can be handled with physical therapy anti inflammatory drugs and other non invasive treatments. Could be weeks to several weeks without him. Three weeks from his injury until we are back from the ASB. 4 more games.

While bone spurs in the elbow are less common in the NBA, the repetitive motion of shooting a basketball can lead to the development of osteophyte(s) in the joint. Once the bone spur is present, conservative treatment can be utilized to address the accompanying symptoms connected to the issue. Athletes can play with the problem but often require routine maintenance and may report functional limitation. As a result, removing the problematic osteophyte via surgery is often utilized as the best long-term course of treatment. In the NBA, a majority of elbow debridements are carried out in the offseason to allow the time lost to be minimized.

Multiple players, including Carmelo Anthony, Wesley Matthews, and Paul Pierce, have undergone elbow debridements to remove bone spurs or loose bodies in their elbow. These surgeries were all performed in the offseason. In-season surgeries are less common though Joe Johnson managed to return in 19 days after undergoing an elbow debridement in the 2010-2011 season. Former Knick Bill Walker also underwent an elbow debridement mid-season but his recovery was longer as he missed 23 games (53 days).

Fortunately, Anunoby does not have a history of elbow problems and a return in the near future seems plausible. It is likely New York uses the next few days and the impending All-Star break to continue their current course of treatment with Anunoby in hopes of controlling his symptoms enough so that he can return to action. Surgery could be an option at some point down the road but it sounds like it is not currently being considered.
