But what if that's what made him clutch!?
SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs announced that earlier today a successful appendectomy was performed on guard Gary Neal. The laparoscopic procedure was performed in San Antonio and Neal’s appendix was removed without complications.

WoW.
Get well soon.
Quoting Wikipedia like a BOSS:
Great timing. As if this mini-offseason wasn't going bad enough, now one of our main cogs could be out for a quarter of the season.Full recovery from appendectomies takes about 4 to 6 weeks but it can prolong to up to 8 weeks if the appendix had ruptured.
Damn. Hope he recovers quickly.
A quick Google search tells me that Grant Hill and Al Jefferson missed about two weeks after an appendectomy. Andrea Bargnani missed about a month, then again that is Bustnani we're talking about.
Spurs season starts in two weeks and with Paranoid Pop, I'm assuming Neal won't be ready for the first game.
cow-hi gonna be playing alot
I'm surprised his doctors didn't tell him to just Neal with it ...
Let's see what you got James.
umm.. Hamilton for the minimum?

Gary Neal's appendix didn't burst. But it was inflamed and causing pain and discomfort. Docs appear to have caught it just in time.

Neal is expected to miss a week of training camp, maybe more. Will be re-examined next week.
Wonder if that will shorten the recovery time.JMcDonald_SAEN Jeff McDonald

probably in the 2-4 week range especially with paranoid pop
According to my Wikipedia degree, it should.
Normally it's a 2-3 week recovery time.
Return to basketball activities will be expedited by healthy reserves of corporate knowledge.
More minutes for Anderson to start the season.
If it had burst, he'd probably still be an inpatient at the hospital after getting emergency abdominal surgery. He'd have a much larger scar from surgery, which comes with greater risks for adhesions and other complications from peritonitis.
Good news: be happy they caught it before it ruptured, but still, kind of a bummer way to start the season. Not exactly a positive omen for the season.
With Pop, Gary may be out for months, due to missing the corporate knowledge of training camp.
The thought of rushing back from that operation to play basketball just gives me the creeps. Can't you imagine stretching up and back to grab a rebound and having it rip open? I can. I guess I'd be like Bargnani.
It's bad timing for Neal, and for the team, but let it heal all the way up.
Nice, time for James Anderson.
. As if the Spurs depth could get any worse.
Dont worry
We have Bonner
