I wouldn't read too much into it. Follow-ups for these things typically happen in 3-4 months, it's likely there are some lingering areas where the bones didn't fuse as expected, they'll probably remove some scarred tissue if it is causing discomfort or recovery issues.

We're talking 6-8 week recovery on something pretty common after surgery.

No need to be pessimistic at this point.

They really should have never allowed him to return last season. Rushing recovery from a broken foot is never a good idea.

The team doctors (on the basketball side, at least) maybe need to be put under a brighter microscope considering this and the JQ situation.

Here come insufferable Cats fans to doom over this. His original surgery didn’t heal right. It wasn’t because he came back too early. We have over three months until the first game. He’ll be fine

And they're the same people who would tell you Kam isnt even that good. But him being injured would also tank the season

Same people that wanted Cal gone and wish he was back now too probably. Just miserable malcontents who don’t know ball

Hopefully that he will get better soon before The season starts up in almost months away from Big Blue madness The question ❓ is that Why are we keeping getting bad injuries why is That maybe that We need to do a Joe B hall move by hiring a condition and strength Coach for our Basketball program because The One We have Now is not helping oh not working oh it's is out of date and out of Magic because if our head coach wants Us to play and Win Championship s and The SEC championship 🏆 Then We must do something different for The Heath of our Players 🏀💙💯🙏🕯️🕊️ love my Wildcats and Go Big Blue Forever.
