Pau Gasol missed a bunch of games for the Lakers this year due to plantar fasciitis in his foot. But when he was on the court, he struggled to find minutes in D’Antoni’s offense. Needless to say, he wasn’t a good year for Paul. Not to mention the fact that trade rumors were swirling about him too.
Pau also suffered from knee discomfort and underwent surgery today on both knees. The timetable for his return is not known at this point, but this isn’t deemed as a major procedure.
Lakers forward Pau Gasol, who has been suffering from tendonosis in both knees, will undergo a FAST Technique procedure tomorrow. The procedure uses a probe inserted into the knee which directs ultrasonic energy to eliminate scar tissue without damaging healthy tissue. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Steven Yoon of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Group.
A timeline for Gasol’s recovery will be issued at the conclusion of the procedure.
