Boston Celtic PF/C Al Jefferson had emergency surgery to have his appendix removed on Wednesday, November 8th. Danny Ainge is expecting Al Jefferson to be back at 100% in 2 to 3 weeks.

(Note: Denver Nuggets PF Kenyon Martin will need arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Keep on eye out for a future Injury Lowdown to see how long K-Mart will be out.)

Fantasy Lowdown:

Will Al Jefferson ever be healthy for one season? Choooo, chooo, all aboard the Ryan Gomes Express! On Wednesday night, Gomes secured his first triple-double with 10 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists! Ryan Gomes is a must pick-up from the waiver wire and should get plenty of burn with Jefferson out. With Gomes, you can expect close to a double-double with a couple assists a night.
