Memo also said that he met with coach Tyrone Corbin and talked in detail before finalizing the decision and the recommendation of the doctors. Memo said that "I have been working out with coach Corbin for the 7 years that I have been in Salt Lake City one on one, sometimes before sometimes after practices. Whenever I felt that I needed to work extra on my game he was always there. He has had a very important role in my development as a NBA player since I have been a member of the Jazz family. I told him I felt terrible that I have not been able to give him any support on the court since he has become coach. He said that he wished I was there helping the team on the court, but injuries happen and the important thing is to get over them. To keep mentaly tough. He said that what was important is that I get back to % 100 and be ready to go at full strength and completely healthy for next season. He also said not to get down, and do exactly what the doctors tell me, and that he wanted a % 100 ready to go Memo in training camp.".
When we asked Memo if this injury was a career threatning injury he said that "I spoke about this possibility with my doctors. They are both very open and excellent doctors. They said that with rehab and treatment I would be back to a % 100. I have a couple of rough couple of months ahead of me and a long summer. I worked so hard to get ready for this season, I sacrificied and got nothing in return. I hope that it will not repeat and that I get to % 100 healthy by the end of the summer. I want to play, I want to contribute and I want to win next season.".
