Although Reggie Evans has been able to put a lot of focus into his foundation and giving back to Pensacola, he’s still pushing to get back to the NBA. As long as his body continues to hold up, he said he could probably play for another two years. “I want to show I can still play against high-caliber players,” he said. “At the end of the day, I want to be remembered as a guy who laid it all out there and had a lot of love for the game of basketball.”

Wolves forward Chase Budinger underwent successful arthroscopic left knee surgery on Monday in Pensacola, Fla., the team announced this morning. Dr. James Andrews of the Andrews Institute of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine performed the surgery. Budinger tore the meniscus in that same knee last November, and he missed much of the season during his recovery. He returned to play the final three weeks of 2012-13, spent the summer rehabbing and by the time he returned to Minnesota for workouts early last month he sounded confident in his recovery. His knee, he said, was getting back to full strength and he once again felt trust in his leaping and his cuts.

On Monday, Gay visited renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Fla. with Alex Saratis (one of Gay's agents with Octagon). I talked to Saratis late Monday night and he filled me in on what the immediate future holds for Gay. Saratis said the shoulder joint is structurally in tact and the muscles around it are very strong. Gay can scrimmage and play but he's been advised not to go 100 percent just yet. Gay will spend a couple of days getting hit by pads. He'll probably spend this week playing one-on-one basketball at Impact in Las Vegas. Gay used his Twitter account earlier this summer to say he'd play overseas during the lockout. But Saratis put the brakes on that, saying: "That's still far down the line. Right now, I don't think he'd be ready to play physically. He wants to get back to being 100 percent basketball-wise. That's going to take some time. He's got to get his timing and confidence back."

Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay underwent successful surgery to repair his partially dislocated left shoulder today in Pensacola, Fla. Renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews of Birmingham, Ala., performed the procedure. Gay will likely be sidelined 4-6 months but he is expected to participate in the Grizzlies’ training camp in the fall. Gay, who was ruled out for the rest of this season earlier this week, was hurt Feb. 15 in a game against Philadelphia. He’s been out the past five weeks, and the healing process hadn’t progressed enough to allow Gay full range of motion in the shoulder.
