Bol Bol Out 8-12 Weeks With Foot Surgery 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jan 18, 2022 7:57 pm

Bol Bol has decided to undergo surgery on his foot and will be out eight to 12 weeks.


The Denver Nuggets agreed to trade Bol to the Detroit Pistons, but the deal was voided due to an issue with the physical exam.


Bol has appeared in 14 games this season with the Nuggets.

So I guess the people bashing the pistons for voiding this trade will be around to apologize shortly?

The Pistons record for voiding trades for health issues is now 2-0, leading the league.

That doesn't include the undiagnosed butthurt that Motiejunas continues to suffer.

I wonder if he went with the surgery out of spite instead of letting it heal on its own.

I’m not sure a man of his size and profession can heal on his own. The amount of stress on his feet and legs from daily routine alone may be too much.

Hopefully he heals properly and can find the right situation. I’d like to see if he can develop into something.
