Then the question is why hasn't the surgery happened yet?
There are some possible explanations (attempt to rehab first or its actually multiple surgeries), but you'd probably want your employer in the loop on any unconventional strategy.
But I also wonder how explicitly this issue is codified in SPC's or the CBA. It could actually be an ambiguous hole, as normally players are motivated enough to preserve their own earning power that they get cut up ASAP.
