Because they were lingering pain and mobility issues, as he said. It’s not like they stopped him from playing and, as we saw, he still played really really well despite them.
Hard to say how bad the flare ups were, when they took place, etc. But I think for athletes, especially at that high of a level, if you can play through something and hope it gets better on its own, you do that 100% of the time. When it becomes undeniably obvious that’s not happening, you seek surgical intervention.
