The Washington Wizards announced Jared Dudley will be out 3-4 months after back surgery for a herniated disc in his lower back. The surgery puts his availability for the start of the 2015-16 NBA season in serious question.
Here's part of the announcement from the team:
"During our discussions with Jared and his agent, Mark Bartelstein, we were made aware that he played with pain for a significant part of last season due to this injury," said Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld. "After jointly consulting with our team doctors and several specialists, we collectively determined that this proactive approach was the best course of action to have him ready for the upcoming season and to prevent the risk of further injury.
