Tayshaun Prince: (Back) Surgery Not Ruled Out

Update: Prince, who has missed four consecutive games with a ruptured disk in his back, hasn’t ruled out surgery to correct the problem, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Recommendation: Prince continues to receive treatment on his back, but there hasn’t been any signs of progress. If the treatments continue to be ineffective, surgery will become the most likely option. Keep him stashed on your bench for now, but you may want to start window shopping for a replacement in case the news gets worse.
