This obviously changes things for me as well. I, like most "not in the know" were under the assumption that doctors were clearing him. If they think he'll need additional surgeries then his back must be made of glass.
that’s the thing... once you’ve already gotten TWO, the back is a ticking time bomb. There definitely are examples of guys getting passed those surgeries. Right now Michael Porter is beasting in the NBA after several back surgeries that took him completely out of college and most of his first season. It’s just that the odds of the back staying stable with repeated surgeries just ain’t good, even if you’re not playing a contact sport.
