Perk & Walker Have Successful Surgeries
BOSTON—Boston Celtics starting center Kendrick Perkins has undergone surgery on his left shoulder. The Celtics said Perkins had arthroscopic surgery Wednesday at New England Baptist Hospital. Also undergoing surgery was the Celtics' second-round draft pick, Bill Walker, to repair damage to his right knee. The NBA champions said both procedures were successful. Team physician Dr. Brian McKeon led both surgeries. No timetable has been set for Perkins' and Walker's off-season returns to the Celtics.

97% of the time routine surgeries are successful. This is good, I’m glad they did not have Un-successful surgeries.
What a buzz kill that headline would be.
Doctor Operates on the wrong shoulder.
Maybe they tried to reconstruct Perks face while he was under to see if they could make it so he doesn’t look so angry all the time.
On second thought, Perk is such a beast he probably wanted to stay awake for the shoulder surgery.
He may have even given Dr. Mckeon his (THATS A TERRIBLE CALL FACE) at random points during his surgery.
I heard he even block the first two incision attempts.

I hope that Perk’s shoulder woes are behind him. I think that
because he has been with the Cs for a while that we tend to forget his relative youth. He is nowhere near his prime. He is going to continue to improve and gain even more respect from
the officials.

Hope Walker can get a full recovery and start paying ASAP this summer.

The definition of a “successful operation” is one where the surgeon gets paid.

I checked out Walker’s interview on the team website. His demeanor is very impressive, and it struck me that he referred to DA as “Mr. Ainge.” I like that people compare him to Leon Powe in some intangible ways, and I have a feeeling he might be the next second round steal similar to Gomes and Powe.

Walker is impressive. I predict him being firmly in the rotation next year.
