Guru Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams underwent successful surgery to remove three bone fragments and scar tissue from his right wrist, the team announced Monday morning. The surgery was performed by noted hand specialist Dr. Andrew Weiland and Nets team orthopedist Dr. Riley Williams III at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. "The bony fragments and scar tissue taken from Deron's wrist today were interfering with this ability to flex his wrist," Dr. Williams said. "We expect a full recovery and a return to basketball-related activities in approximately 6-8 weeks." http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nba/news/story?id=6329259 Good to see that the surgery was successful.

Guru Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I can't even imagine trying to play basketball with my shooting wrist injured as bad as Deron's wrist was injured. I'm surprised it took this long for doctor's to realize that he needed surgery and that it wasn't simply a sprained wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nets needed an image and got it which resulted in him being showcased in a couples games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
