Danny outright denied that surgery was ever discussed as a possibility now. He did allow that KG has met with the medical staff for many hours, and that DA was not present for every discussion, but that it was his understanding that surgery down the road was one possibility. Something to do with a bony growth that was irritating the muscle. But in no way was that ever discussed as something to pursue at this point. When a patient is dealing with something like this, it is typical for a Dr. to go over all the possible outcomes, and with this injury, that is one possible solution down the road, but was NEVER on the table for the present. Just as viable, is that with rest and therapy the situation could resolve itself.
DA also said that in terms of playing making it worse, that was a better question for a Doctor, but his understanding was it would not. I realize DA can be less than truthful when discussing the draft, possible trades, etc. but in this case, speaking less than candidly about this topic would not make much sense. He did not evade the question, just qualified that he is in fact not a Dr., but he thought the issue was what KG could ultimately tolerate.
