As some of you might have seen on my website, I have actually been working on my own brand, CLUTCH INC.  There are water bottles, t-shirts (only available in XL, for right now), hats, and I actually have a few autographed photos available for sale in the store section of my website.  Please take a look and let me know what you think.  Some of the proceeds will be donated to a few charities around Utah and Louisiana.

Also I am at 100% right now, and can’t wait for the season to start. 

As I let my left hand recover from having surgery, I am having a hard time not playing basketball on a daily basis.  The summer time I play basketball with my family all day long.  Having three brothers the games get very competitive.  I only have a few weeks left until I get clearance to play basketball again. Cant wait!

Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap has undergone successful left thumb surgery, the team announced Friday. 

The procedure, which was performed by Steven Huish, consisted of repairing a torn ligament in Millsap’s left thumb. He was injured on May 16 during Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers. 

Millsap’s thumb will be placed in a cast for two weeks, at which time he will be re-evaluated. Treatment for the following four weeks will be determined. Millsap is expected to be fully healed in six weeks.

Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap will undergo surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb this Thursday, Jazz general manager Kevin O’Connor announced today.

Millsap injured the thumb in the Game Six loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on May 16. Following x-rays, Jazz physician Dr. Lyle Mason preliminarily diagnosed the thumb injury as a torn ulnar ligament.

A second opinion by Dr. Steven Huish today confirmed that Millsap suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb, and Dr. Huish will perform surgery to repair the ligament on Thursday in Salt Lake City.

A report on the surgery and an estimated timeline for Millsap’s recovery will be provided on Friday.

Originally selected by the Jazz in the second round (47th overall) of the 2006 NBA Draft, Millsap has appeared in all 164 regular season games and all 29 playoff games in his first two seasons. He averaged 8.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per game this season.
