Dion Waiters to undergo surgery on left ankle this offseason?
He missed the second straight game with an ankle sprain
As reported by the Associated Press, Dion Waiters will consider having surgery this offseason to repair his problematic left ankle.
The Miami Heat guard missed his second straight game Tuesday because of a recurrence of the sprain that kept him off the floor for the final 13 games of the season.
The ankle never fully healed, and Waiters has been dealing with it all season.
"I've played through it, though," Waiters said. "I've got to. I'm not making any excuses. It is what it is. It's something I don't like to talk about because there's nothing we really can do right now but try to take care of it, get it stronger, things like that. I don't want to be in this predicament where it's a little tweak, you've got to miss a decent amount just off a little tweak. That sucks."
