Taurean Prince To Undergo Season-Ending Ankle Surgery 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Apr 22, 2021 8:12 pm

Taurean Prince is expected to undergo season-ending surgery for an ankle injury.


The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Prince in January as part of the James Harden trade.


Prince averaged 10.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23.7 minutes over 29 games with the Cavaliers.

It would be impossible to negotiate, but for players who have suffered season-ending injuries this year, who are also in their contract seasons, something should be done. This compacted schedule seems to be getting more ruthless by the day.

Prince has $15M coming to him next season, so, he'll be fine.
