Glad to hear the surgery went well and I'm sure he will come back better than ever.
this.
I was already expecting to see more of Anderson thanks to the condensed schedule. Now with Neal out to start the season in all likelihood, its time to really see what Anderson can do for us after a year of absolutely nothing concrete being shown.
True.
This would be good for James Anderson to fight his way back into the rotation.
wtf? The one thing this team doesn't lack is depth, especially at the 2. We are a legit 10-deep team.
what an offseason.
Spurs get rid of appendix and bring in TJ Ford.
a wash in my books.
I know this is a Gary Neal thread but with all this talk about James Anderson stepping up and taking his minutes makes me for some weird reason think that James Anderson won't come through because he is injury prone.

I hope Pop never planned to use Anderson behind Neal this season, despite of Neals accomplishments last season. Hopefully James stays healthy for the full season.
And Gary ... get well ... I heard your doctor looked at the appendix and said "that was clutch" ...
I guess we are going to find out sooner than later if T.J. Ford has anything worthwhile to contribute.
Yeah, we will find out earlier than we thought if TJ sucks in the Spurs system ...
Fixed it for ya.
... and I wanted to keep a little optimism
Not a big deal. Without the appendix rupturing and with it being done laparoscopically it shouldn't be too significant. Probably 48 hours in the hospital and then he could be up and walking around. 2 weeks is a very realistic scenario.
Just consulted a General Surgeon (really, I have one sitting five feet from me).
Pop says Neal out up to four regular season games.
Neal is going to miss the pre-season, meaning that he's actually out for all the reg season, as playing him wouldn't be fair to the other players on the roster.

Neal is hopeful he can return to practice soon. Will know more after he sees the doc.

Spoke briefly with Gary Neal before the scrimmage. Scheduled to see the doc again tomorrow to evaluate appendectomy.
I hope the Nealing process is swift and he can return 100% healthy soon.
That will shorten the recovery time,definitely. Also, it was a laparoscopic procedure, so, only a small abdominal incision was made. That will further hasten his recovery.

Everyone but Gary Neal is available to play. Pop isn't expecting Neal back from appendectomy until second week of January.
Timetable for Neal’s return may be moving up

Woohooo ... hopefully Pop tries to use him as PG to take some of Fords minutes
