    Anticipate 6-9 month recovery. Typically not a career ending injury but easily could be for a 34 year old point guard.

    Assuming biceps surgery went well, should not have recurrent problems. Good prognosis.

    Despite being RBs over 30, good chance at least 2 of the 3, if not all 3, have productive seasons. Sometimes rest rejuvenates the body.
