ANALYTICAL: WHY TIGER WOODS HAS ZERO TIMETABLE AFTER 7TH SURGERY
Tiger Woods stated his recovery from his latest back surgery is "not as fast as I'd like" and refused to set a return date. He has just been cleared to chip and putt.
On December 2nd, Tiger Woods shared that his recovery from his recent back surgery is taking longer than expected, so he can’t say when he’ll be back on the course.
Woods, who turns 50 later this month and has 15 major titles, had disc replacement surgery in October. This is just the latest in a string of surgeries and injuries that have kept him out of action since the 2024 British Open.
At his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on December 2nd, Woods mentioned he’s been cleared to start chipping and putting. Still, the former world number one isn't sure when he will compete again.
“It’s not going as fast as I want,” Woods said when asked about his recovery from his seventh back surgery.
“It was the right thing to do, something I needed. It just takes time and hard work to get through rehab.”
When questioned about his potential 2026 tournament plans, Woods said he’s still figuring out when he’ll be ready to return.
“I’m just waiting to get back to playing. Once I do, I’ll start planning my schedule,” Woods said.
“I’m not there yet in terms of making those decisions or commitments.
“I’ve been through this rehab before, so it’s one step at a time. Once I get used to practising, pushing myself, playing, and recovering, then I can decide where and how much I’ll play.”
After a bad car crash in 2021 caused serious leg injuries, Woods came back at the 2022 Masters, finishing 47th.
He had another back operation in September 2024 and was recovering from that when he announced in March that he had ruptured his Achilles tendon.
Even though he’s started chipping and putting, Woods is prepared for a long rehab after his surgery.
“I just got cleared last week to chip and putt, which is great,” he said.
“It’s been slow since I couldn't do much after the disc replacement.
“Now I’m cleared to start working harder in the gym, building strength, and doing more of the twisting exercises I haven’t been able to do. I’m just letting the disc settle.”
When asked if he might return at the Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles in February, Woods said, “As I said, I don’t know. Disc replacement takes time. It’s not as long as a fusion, thankfully, but it will take a while.”
Woods is determined to get back to playing golf.
“I want to get back to just playing golf,” he said.
“I haven’t played in a while. It’s been a tough year.
“I’ve had a lot of tough things happen on and off the course, so I really want to just play again. It’s been too long.”
WARRIORS' NEW DYNAMIC: STEVE KERR EXPLAINS HOW PAT SPENCER FITS WITH STEPH CURRY BACK
Warriors coach Steve Kerr confirmed Pat Spencer's excellent play (13.6 PPG, 59% FG) guarantees him minutes, even with Steph Curry returning to the backcourt rotation.
The Golden State Warriors may have found a gem in guard Pat Spencer while Steph Curry was out. It sounds like they plan to keep him in the mix.
Coach Steve Kerr talked on Tuesday about how Spencer will fit in now that Curry is back.
"I'm not going to cut his minutes completely," Kerr said about Spencer on the Willard & Dibs show on Tuesday, December 9. I plan to play him with Steph some. We'll see how it goes. It will depend on who we're playing, how well we defend, and which three guys we put out there with them. It's something we still need to figure out.”
Kerr added, But with how Pat is playing and how he’s helping us win and bringing a competitive attitude to the team. I have to keep playing him. We’re winning, and he’s a big reason why.
Spencer has played well in the 5 games since Curry got hurt.
Curry hurt his quadriceps against the Houston Rockets on November 26. He’s scheduled to be back on Friday, December 12, at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
In those five games without Curry, the Warriors went 3-2. Spencer started in the last two wins.
In those five games, Spencer played about 23 minutes each night. He averaged 13.6 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.6 rebounds, plus almost one steal per game. He shot nearly 60% from the field and almost 67% from three on around two attempts a game.
The Warriors are now 13-12 for the season and are currently eighth in the Western Conference.
Draymond Green will practice before the Warriors' next game.
Curry is coming back on Friday after the team had five days off because they didn't make the NBA Cup tournament. Draymond Green, Curry's longtime teammate, is still uncertain.
Green has missed the last two games with a foot injury. Kerr hoped Green might return on Friday, but he doesn't have enough info yet.
Kerr said, "He's supposed to practice [Wednesday] and scrimmage [Thursday]." Afterwards, we'll know more about how close he is to coming back. I don't know yet if he'll be able to play on Friday.
After a three-game road trip in the East, the Warriors play one home game before going back on the road for two games out West. Golden State plays the Portland Trail Blazers on December 14 and then the Phoenix Suns on December 18.
"HE LOOKS GOOD OUT THERE":LEBRON JAMES PROUDLY PRAISES BRONNY'S NBA IMPROVEMENT
LeBron admits balancing team leadership with advising Bronny is hard, but says the young Laker star must experience challenges to reach his full potential.
LeBron James missed training camp and the first 14 games this season—a first for him. All he could do was watch.
He got to see the Lakers start strong at 10-4, and he watched Bronny James grow as a player.
Bronny stood out in the Summer League in Las Vegas. When the season started, he even started a game against the Bucks. One of his best games was against the Hawks, where he shot 4-6 and scored 9 points.
LeBron talked about how much he enjoys watching Bronny improve on his “Mind The Game” podcast.
“It’s been great, as a father and someone who loves the game, to see him build on what he did in the G League, get comfortable, and then do even better in the Summer League. Now, when he gets his chances this year, he just looks good out there. Young players get better with more time on the court.
“You pick up the little things, and you get used to the speed and strength of the game. I was really proud of him in those games when Luka, AR, or Marcus was out. He played well at home and then had a tough back-to-back in Portland and did it again. That’s what the NBA is all about.”
Every player's path is different, but Bronny's is unique. As part of the first father-son duo in the NBA, he's under a huge spotlight, especially as a late second-round pick.
He seems to handle it well, though he admitted the pressure got to him at first. Now that things have calmed down, he can focus on his game.
Even with less media attention, Bronny’s situation is still special. His dad is not just his coworker but also one of the best to ever play the game.
Bronny can’t change that. LeBron has to figure out how to handle it, as he mentioned on the podcast.
“It’s a tricky balance. During practice and games, I’m a leader on the team. But we also have time where I can give him advice based on what I see. He has to go his own way, and I can share what I’ve learned, but he needs to experience things for himself. Going through those challenges will teach him the most.”
Despite some concerns about the LeBron-Bronny dynamic, it hasn’t been a problem.
Bronny is getting better and looks more comfortable in NBA games. The Lakers are one of the top teams in the West, so it’s tough for him to get consistent playing time. Still, he’s ready, and he’ll get his chance when injuries happen.
If Bronny keeps working hard and improving, he’ll reach his full potential, and that’s what matters most.
