Any news on Kovy's injury?

[devil421]

Just wondering if anyone saw anything specific about Kovy's injury that hampered him throughout the playoffs. I was pretty sure it was a groin pull but never saw confirmation after the playoffs ended. Anybody got info?

Haven't heard anything yet myself. If it surgery related, mofo get it done now!

Last I read about Kovy they were thinking it wouldn't need surgery, but Lou said when they announced Fayne's surgery that no one else needed procedures yet, but Lou was still waiting on 2nd and 3rd opinions.

herniated disk is what I heard.

Herniated disk sounds like a recurring type of injury. I'd rather go 2 months without Kovy than a full season of Kovy at 50%.

herniated disk is what I heard.

Good call. Thanks.
