Shaun Livingston to undergo procedure
Ah, so this is why he hasn’t been playing. From a press release:
Thunder forward Shaun Livingston will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee it was announced today by the team. “Recently, Shaun has experienced an increase in swelling following activity,” said Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti. “Although his knee is structurally sound, after consulting with the Thunder medical staff and Dr. James Andrews, it was determined that the best course of action was to perform a minor procedure to resolve the swelling and allow Shaun to continue full activity in the coming weeks.”
Dr. Andrews will perform the surgery today, in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Andrews will remove staples from Livingston’s knee that have recently caused some swelling in the knee. The staples were originally placed during Livingston’s knee reconstruction that was performed by Dr. Andrews on March 13, 2007.
A timetable for Livingston’s return will be determined after the procedure.
I guess this means weaver wont get sent to d league, now that he is 3rd PG
ACK! Hopefully it will be more of a “routine maintance” type of thing (which is what it sounds like) rather than something that could take him of for any long lenght of time.
Yeah. Good luck, Shaun!
Still holding plenty of hope for you Shaun. Good luck sir.
That explains a lot… good luck Shawn
Never a good sign.
I met this kid at one of the McDAA practices, and he was gracious and warm then. I only wish him the best. Having injured my knees in similar manners, I understand what he’s going through. Good luck, sir.
Have they always labeled him as a Forward this season?
Yeah, what? Forward? Livingston? No.
Anyway, this guy has had some horrible luck but he keeps working hard. Wish him the best.
A heads up:
I’m having site issues today so if the pregame doesn’t show up, just use this as your open thread.
Sorry everyone.
So is this the reason that he has seen so little playing time?
