Headed for foot surgery Bol plans to undergo surgery in the coming days to address a lingering right foot injury, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. He's expected to require 8-to-12 weeks of recovery... Impact The foot injury explains why Bol could not pass a physical last week, thereby voiding a trade that would have sent the 7-foot-2 big man to Detroit. Bol's impending surgery effectively takes any other potential trade off the table, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Nuggets eventually cut him to clear a spot for another healthy player, given that Denver already has four other members of the roster out with long-term injuries. Bol previously slid to the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft after requiring surgery on his left foot during his final season of college at Oregon, so the fact that he'll need another procedure -- albeit for the opposite foot -- is discouraging for his long-term outlook.
