The microdiscectomy is presumably to allow the bulge to happen a little bit without the nerves being pinched/inflamed. That should theoretically allow it to bother him less frequently, but he'll need to be careful still because if he tries to play on it and tweaks it wrong, it's gonna go completely haywire and no discectomy is going to solve that. Worse for him, as he ages, he may need it fused; way down in the lumbar for a dude that tall is going to take quite a bit of strain. If he's already having bulging disc issues at 19 years old, it's not going to get better for him. Just as was the case when Poe went down with his herniated disc and needed surgery, I'm going to have to assume that this will be a long-term, lingering issue for a 6'10'' dude until proven otherwise. |

It was evidently the Wednesday before the season started during practice.
But for a bulging disc, it could've just been sleeping on a lumpy mattress or something. Backs are stupid. Charles Grodin got it right... Don't be surprised or angry when your back hurts; be thankful for the few years you had when it didn't. |

Tough blow. In fact probably one of the toughest I can imagine that would happen to a program.
