If his shoulder has ‘had an issue’, then he needs the surgery. Surgeons don't cut into healthy tissue for kicks, or even for cash.
As for the timing, I already went into that. If a person needs surgery, the only reason to delay it (other than finances or fear of the knife, which don't apply in this case) is because something else has a higher priority. For pro athletes in team sports, the team is usually that higher priority, so they wait till the off season if they can. Well, in this case the team seems to have made it fairly clear that it doesn't want Kane around; which removes the only reason he had to wait before getting the surgery.
If you say (as Street Pharmacist does) that he is getting the surgery
purely to spite the team, then you are saying that the surgery is not medically required
at all. But if that were the case, no reputable surgeon would perform it.
