It has been reported that Strong will need surgery, but according to Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com, the ASU product is denying that his ailing wrist will need surgery.
Old news. That happened Nov 1st. I'm fine. Played 5 games with it and I'm sure you couldn't tell. Don't believe everything you hear.
