Jarrett Jack to have ankle surgery; Will he join Bosh in Toronto?


From Blazers.com, looks like Jarrett will go under the knife in Los Angeles this week and miss 10 weeks of action. Jarrett will make a full recovery from an ankle injury that never really healed this season (Story below courtesy of blazers.com). In more interesting news, and i know Scott posted it over on the blog is a rumor about Jarrett going to Toronto in exchange for the #4 pick in this years draft. Pretty interesting. Check out Scott's article over on www.gtsports.blogspot.com about this story.

Guard Jarrett Jack will undergo surgery to remove scar tissue and loose particles from his left ankle Friday in Los Angeles, it was announced by the team Thursday.

“Jarrett played the entire season on an ankle that he badly sprained prior to the draft last year,” said Trail Blazers General Manager John Nash. “It never healed fully and he should be physically superior this coming season as a result of this procedure.”

Recovery time is expected at 8-10 weeks, and Jack will likely not participate in the Las Vegas Summer League in early July.

Posting averages of 6.7 ppg, 2.0 rpg and 2.8 apg during the 2005-06 season, Jack became the first Portland rookie in 10 years to log 1,500-plus minutes in his inaugural NBA campaign while leading the team with 79 appearances.


* UPDATE*
Portland Trail Blazers guard Jarrett Jack underwent successful surgery to remove scar tissue and loose particles from his left ankle Friday in Los Angeles. Dr. Richard Ferkel performed the procedure. Recovery time is expected to be 8-10 weeks, and Jack will likely not participate in the Las Vegas Summer League in early July.
