Those scans revealed the worst-case scenario for Patton - that he requires a second knee reconstruction in the space of 17 months.
Confirmed. Terrible news for the guy.

Oh flower, poor guy. Dude was having a pretty decent year and boosted his value a bit. It's just been shot again though.  |

He also came into the league with a knee issue, they sent him over to Germany in his first season. I am not sure if it was the same knee but it is not a good sign regardless. Hopefully his rehab goes well and he can overcome this hurdle.

If I remember correctly, I think it is the same one (from what I remembering hearing during the coverage on 7). |

Not only does it set him back a whole year, but it cuts out a lot of financial gains he could've earned
