Add Another to Club Microfracture...

During Darius Miles’ previously scheduled arthroscopic procedure today, doctors uncovered the need for microfracture surgery.

Surgery was completed successfully and Miles is expected to begin a rehabilitation process that will cause him to miss the duration of the season.

Always tough for someone to go through this procedure.

How does everyone think Darius will bounce back from this?

I don't think he's going to make it back...He's a guy who has always lacked work ethic and relyed on his athleticizm...With the athleticizm sapped from the surgery, what will that leave him?

Hope he proves me wrong...He could be a good player.

Good luck Miles!

That right there could be the whole key ... The players who have come back the most are those who rigorously adhered to the rehab schedules and made sure they did everything they were supposed to do. Somehow, I just don't see Darius Miles buying into that...

I wonder if having a microfracture success story on the very same team could help him out.

Zach Randolph is playing like an elite PF so far this season, and he had the surgery a while back.

Just a thought.

I don't think Zach Randolph and Darius Miles are on the same wave length, SLAB...

I tend to agree.

But you never really know...I was just kinda throwing it out there as a "what if" type of thing.

I have a tendency to agree here -- unless this causes Miles ot have some sort of revelation in his pea brain, be "reborn" in basketball sense, and come back as an entirely new man, this is the sort of thing that could well finish him. What a wasted career if that's the way it goes.

Earlier this year Miles said in an interview that to him basketball is just a job, something to earn a paycheck. He sounded like he didn't even really like basketball that much. He'll work his way back into playing shape, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him call it quits with the knee as an excuse to retire after he finds out how the knee is going to feel the day after a game.

Interesting that they just uncovered the need for microfracture surgery.

I'm wondering how long a player can go without getting the surgery. From what I remember, it is needed when there is no cartilege left between bones? I would guess that you wouldn't be able to play long like that. But this one and Stoudemire's surgery both seemed to come when they were still playing ok. With a surgery this likely to end or completely change my career, I might consider having a couple good years over a dozen bad ones, if that was possible.

Wish I could find someone to pay me that much money to "waste" a career.
