Alex Kerfoot Has Core Muscle Procedure, Out 8–10 Weeks

Utah recalibrates its forward group after a 6-2 start without the veteran center.

Overview

  • General manager Bill Armstrong said Friday that Kerfoot underwent a procedure to repair a core muscle and will miss eight to ten weeks.
  • The forward remains on injured reserve after an Oct. 6 lower-body designation and has yet to play for Utah this season.
  • The team has not clarified whether the core injury is connected to the earlier lower-body issue.
  • The stated timeline points to an estimated mid-to-late December return if recovery stays on schedule.
  • Kerfoot, 31, signed a one-year, $3 million deal in the offseason and has been notably durable in recent years.
