Sports Injury Analyst: Horton Tucker may be out for 8-12 weeks before hitting a cast in the first 6 weeks

According to The Athletic Shams, a number of sources revealed that Lakers guard Tarren Horton Tucker has torn the thumb ligament in his right hand and will undergo surgery.

This morning, sports injury analyst Evan Jeffries said about Tucker's injury: "Tucker will undergo surgery to repair the ligament of his right thumb, possibly 8-12 weeks out, depending on the recovery of the ligament repaired. ”

Jeffries then added: "He (Tucker) will most likely be cast (immobilized) for the first 6 weeks so that the ligaments can heal properly." It's also his shooter, so at first I tended to have longer recovery times. ”
