Unfortunate news from Charlotte, where the Bobcats announced last Friday that Sean May will undergo microfracture surgery on his troublesome right knee, which limited him last season.
I hate having to update this list of NBA microfracture patients, which now numbers 31 over the last decade-plus. Last week also brought the surprising news that Seattle Prep and UW product Spencer Hawes, taken ninth overall by Sacramento in June, underwent a microfracture at age 14 before entering high school. (Hawes' knee is again giving him trouble, which will keep him out of tomorrow's preseason opener for the Kings against the Sonics; he'll actually be here in Seattle meeting with his personal doctor).
In the midst of the NBA microfracture news, I had my research on NFL microfracture history published at FootballOutsiders.com.
