Olesz Needs Surgery

Well, it's official. Rostislav Olesz, who hasn't played since December 4th due to a groin injury, has a sports hernia that will require surgery.

Jacques Martin told the Miami Herald that Olesz could miss two months, though it's always possible he comes back sooner -- or later. But, as of now, there hasn't been any announced date for the procedure, so Olesz isn't recovering from anything, yet.

If the surgery is done this week or next, given the estimated eight week timeframe, Olesz would likely return sometime in late March.

The 23-year old winger is in the first year of a six year extension that will pay him $18.75 million.
