Steve Grinczel on Suton’s knee surgery:
Suton’s 15-minute procedure was performed Thursday, Izzo said Friday evening after practice. A small “fleck” of cartilage that may have contributed to the pain Suton experienced in his left knee was removed.
According to the article, he could be back in as little as two weeks, but all the missed practice means that a post-Christmas return is more likely.
If he’s on the court at 6:00 p.m. on December 31 to tip off the Big Ten season in Minneapolis, that’ll be A-OK in my book.
In retrospect, it’s too bad they did not do this two weeks ago. He is going to be much needed at the beginning of the Big Ten season, particularly those first two away games.
Well I guess that qualifies as good news in that there’s probably nothing structurally wrong with the knee. Hopefully this will clear up the pain and swelling and we’ll have him back in top form for the rest of the season.
