Westbrook Surgery not so minor

Reports from Philly are that the procedure Westbrook had on his ankle is not as minor as a bone spur but not necessarily major surgery. Also, the team source stated that the knee scope he had earlier was not as minor as reported also. No shit! Even with teams being ultra secretive about injuries, everyone knows that the use of Westbrook was bound to take it's toll eventually. After his issues last season it was apparent he was starting to slowly break down. Westbrook has heart and is a great player, but it looks like the beginning of the end. Just when they trade Buckhalter too. Fantasy wise he is a scary proposition right now because we really won't know how well he is until week 1. Even if he is healthy it is risk because of his work load and there is no clear cut stud behind him. I think this hurts Philly's chances at making that Super Bowl run this year even though it is very early to write anyone off.
