Gerald Henderson Surgery

[Duvalier]

And the beat goes on...what an offseason.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

He won't pass the team physical, hurray! We get Batum back!

 

[Darkwebs]

So we got back damaged goods? Neat.

 

[Scalma]

Dude is nothing but a contract anyway. Play the young guys like Connaughton and crabbe, and hopefully go after mcdaniels.

 

[magnifier661]

Apparently the surgery is very minor. He should be ready by training camp

 

[Sinobas]

The clips of this guy make him look like "crash" at SG. And it sounds like his production may fall of a cliff as soon as Wallace's. So I'd say he's probably a one year guy for us, though he looks like a fun player.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Of course he is.....

 

[julius]

Can they microfracture a hip?

 

[Chris Craig]

How Blazer of him

 

[Chrionex]

He'll fit in just fine.

 

[barfo]

Well, granny broke her hip. Time to put her in a home?

[Nhawz]

We wouldn't of went after him if he wasn't having surgery

 

[Draco]

Get well Gerald.

 

[ripcityboy]

It's okay. We have tons of depth.

 

[Chrionex]

Pretty sure Blazer fandom this year should come with a complementary monthy supply of xanax and Pyramid.

Probably just cleaned out debris or smoothed out a bone spur. It's actually good news because he'll have freedom of motion once it's done. Those are really simple procedures.

Nah, just welcome her home when she's back from the hospital...

 

[GriLtCheeZ]

Get well Gerald! I wanna see some of those highlight reel dunks this season!

It's never good news when you have a second surgery in 4 years on the same body part.

CJ McCollum comes to mind...cleaning debris out of a hip joint is simple and it works. Athletes have it all the time. It's no big deal.

Strongly disagree and believe he will be on the roster starting the season still. I heard on 750 sports radio some interview with a Charlotte writer and he said that Portland will be surprised and his professionalism, hustle and overall team play. One of the things he said was that he just might be the right positive influence that all of our new young acquisitions need in the locker room. He is not the guy to call you out, but he leads by example and helps people along. He is the consummate professional and a role model on how to make it in this league.

Cool. Doesn't mean he needs to play.

Sounds like he's Dorell Wright..who I'd also like back for the same reason

Dude, don't insult Hendo like that.

 

[riverman]

Henderson has had 6 coaches and D league changes to the roster his whole career. I think he'll embrace Portland's style. I like that he has quick hands, defends and slashes to the rim with some gusto. Knows how to finish in the paint way better than CJ..gotta build some swagger around these guys or it'll be a long season of blah

Surgery is never a positive.

Reminds me of Mike Barrett saying "Greg Oden's knees are better than the average third year player because they haven't had the wear and tear of all those games."

The late Michael Jackson's face would agree with this post... I would find a picture of it, but I don't want to scar myself like that.

Something was just broken with that guy... Sometimes I wonder if the juice they do in college causes issues later.
