Cats import Daniels has elbow surgery

Perth Wildcats star import DeAndre Daniels is in doubt for the start of the NBL season due to an elbow injury.

Daniels, who joined the Wildcats from the NBA's Toronto Raptors on a season-long loan deal, is expected to be out of action for between four and six weeks.

And from the Cats:
The injury was revealed during the Wildcats initial screening process of its new players.

With the 2014/15 NBL season more than five weeks away, the club opted to have the joint repaired surgically rather than preventatively maintain the issue throughout the season.

cats obviously didn't want to announce this too soon as it would affect ticket sales to pre-season games

news reports don't say what elbow it is. is it his shooting elbow? non-shooting should take less time to heal.

What does everyone think about the mandate from the Raptors that i've read about that Daniels is to be playing the 3 during his "gap year"...

Under other circumstances you'd think he'd be 4.

A point of contention?

Surgery on what ever elbow is the same RMQ. Pain and recovery.
