Potentially. There is always potential. There was a time when acl tears meant career was over . Now they are routine surgeries, same thing with microfracture surgeries.

I never say never on a person’s ability.

I remember when people said Brees was done after tearing his shoulder in three places, and surgeons said his career was over.

Look at Fultz

Dominique Wilkins tore his Achilles and returned to all star level.

So it is possible. But to waive him for a scrap player, and after he stated that he might be able to return by the POs for the lakers?

Just seems like desperate and bad MGT.
