    No specifics in here. Just that he had "knee surgery."

    No timetable for return although the blurb does speculate "if" he recovers in time for the start of the season.

    Why did they wait so long after the season ended?

    And why was the surgery in New York instead of at Duke?

    Also, not sure if it's a factor or not, Obi's host family after he moved to the US is from Greenwich Connecticut, just outside New York.

    Additionally, while the Hospital for Special Surgery might not be as "famous" as places like Johns Hopkins, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, or Duke, it is generally considered the top orthopedic hospital in the US. So it is very likely that he is receiving excellent care.

    I think we should put a cap on this.

    It is good to know that everyone here is also keeping up on their skills for the upcoming season.

    I wish Obi a full recovery. I still wonder how much of his ineffectiveness this season was due to his knee problems. Pretty sure Coach K mentioned that Obi has problems in preseason that prevented him from ever getting in shape.

    I think there is no hurry on his recovery. With Jefferson's return and the addition of Bolden and Giles, he was unlikely to play at all next season -- surgery or no surgery.

    But that might not be the case in 2017-18.

    We lose Jefferson for sure ... Giles very likely ... and there's a decent chance Bolden is one-and-done.

    That's not problem if Jeter develops as we hope and K scores big on the recruiting trail -- Carter would seem to be the most impactful recruit. Bomba would obviously help a lot. Or maybe Vrankovic develops.

    But that's a lot of what ifs. It's not farfetched that Duke will NEED Obi as a rotation player in 2018 -- not the immobile, earth-bound Obi we saw last season, but the rebounding machine he was two years earlier as a freshman.

    I very much hope he gets his problems fixed ... and is available to make a contribution in 2018. We might not need it ... but we might.

    In all seriousness, I wish young Mr. Obi the speediest and most complete of recoveries.
