Utah Jazz Center Walker Kessler Undergoes Shoulder Surgery for Labral Tear

Walker Kessler, a player for the Utah Jazz basketball team, recently had surgery on his shoulder.

This was because he tore a part of his shoulder called the labrum.

The labrum is like a little lip around the edge of the bone socket in the shoulder that helps keep the ball of the arm in place.

When it tears, it can cause pain and make it hard to move.

After surgery, doctors need to reattach the torn labrum to the bone.

This usually takes about a month to start sticking back.

Then, it takes another month or so for the shoulder to get strong again.

It's important to be very careful and not put too much stress on the shoulder too soon, so it can heal properly and become strong enough for playing basketball again.
