“They repaired the labrum,” he said. “They stitched that together. They shaved the bone down to make it more round, so I had more movement in my hip. Hip scope and labrum repair. “So the bone needs to heal. Everyone I’ve talked to that has had the surgery, say they haven’t had any issues since. That’s really the goal for me, obviously. So far I feel pretty good.”
“When you’re hurt, you feel like you’re kind of left out and you’re doing your own thing a lot,” Carrick said. “It’s nice to feel like one of the regulars. If you’re left out of a lot of things, when you do come back you feel like there’s a lot of catching up to do. I’m trying to stay on top of things if there’s any changes we’re making, I’m aware of it.
