D-Mac Has Bone Spur
Dallas McPherson has a bone spur, according to specialist Dr. Marc Philipon, who recommended surgery. Surgery would knock McPherson out for the balance of the season. He will get a second opinion.
Update 8/19: The Times says McPherson is trying ever so hard to stay in the game, despite advice from the doctors at the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic in Vail, Colorado, who say that he risks further injury to his hip if he continues playing and postpones surgery.
"If there's a way I can help this team, I will do it," said McPherson, who has been limited to 61 games because of lower-back, groin and hip injuries. "Dr. [Richard] Steadman said I could play now, but I'd risk more damage. There's bone-on-bone friction in the joint. I want to see what a second doctor says."The procedure takes about three months to recover from, according to the Times article.
