Reggie Jackson Waiting All Way Until Season To Get Knee Surgery.. Your Thoughts? 

Post#1 » by FLced » Thu Oct 27, 2016 2:02 am

I wonder what Reggie Was thinking all summer long, knowing he would need surgery on his knee. I read in an article that RJ was full aware of his knee problems going all the way back to his OKC playing days.

I think it flared up on him right around when he needed it done. I don't think he knew he needed to have t done all summer.

It wasn't surgery, just a PRP shot.

But it is directly on your knee cap so that's going to mess your knee up anyways.

From the sounds of it its something he's been dealing with for years but has periods where its not so bad, and periods where it has really bothered him. I guess they just wanted to have it be a minimal issue for the remainder of the year which is probably fine. He should have a stronger finish to the season with a smaller chance of it keeping him out when it really matters. The only way it was a mistake to miss these early games will be if we end up missing the playoffs all together which I think is pretty unlikely.
