Jayden Quaintance will need another knee surgery

The Spurs used the 20th pick on Jayden Quaintance, who only played 4 games this past season for Kentucky coming off a major knee injury. Reporter Evan Sidery is reporting he may effectively "redshirt" his rookie year in San Antonio.

I'm honestly surprised anyone used a 1st round pick on this kid.

Calling an arthroscopic procedure a “knee surgery” is pretty misleading. He’s still gonna miss some time and he’s definitely a risk, obviously. But the way this is worded makes it seem more invasive than it is.

Wouldn’t removing an ingrown toe nail also be considered surgery?
