Bobo Has Knee Surgery

UCLA backup center J'mison Morgan had arthroscopic surgery to remove torn cartilage in his right knee today.

Too bad for Bobo. Hope that this doesn't derail his off-season workout program too badly.

UPDATE (N): More from PE.com's blog:

The procedure was performed by Dr. David McAllister, a UCLA team physician, earlier Thursday at the UCLA Hospital. Recovery time is expected to be six weeks.

Bobo is a great kid. Despite all the rumors and gossip we have heard on the message boards about him transferring, it sure seemed he has been very happy to be Bruin and enjoying his time in Westood. Instead of sounding discouraged, I think we should send good vibes Bobo's way. Sure he will get set back by few weeks. But I am counting on him to get well, feel better, have a great spring quarter and a very productive summer before his sophomore season in Westood.

In the long term Bobo is going to be all right getting coached by one of the best staff in the country. Get well Bobo. We are all pulling for you big fella.

GO BRUINS.

3rd that

Not good when conditioning was an issue for him. Wish him the best though as we need him

Six weeks recovery time is not so bad

and the rehab exercises often makes the knee stronger than before the injury.

My Best To BoBo,

Do everything thing they tell you to do, young man, and nothing that they tell you not to.

WE NEED YOU!!!

Love My Bruins

This might be a huge blow

in his development. I really feel for the kid

Why immediately assume the worst?

He will get healthy. He will work hard, come back and turn out to be a solid Bruin.

Ed O suffered injury that was more serious and devastating.

This is not major at all

I had the same injury and had the same surgery. The doctors said it would take 4-6 weeks to get back to 100% and I was back on it in 3. Because it’s arthroscopic it’s not very invasive and they had to save the torn cartilage, not repair it, which should cut down on the recovery time. They say 6 weeks because that’s the higher end of the recovery time, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were 4 considering it wasn’t repairing the cartilage.
