Apparently also part of his lawsuit is...

He’s alleging negligence on treatment. That nerve blocks were incorrectly administered. That simply should not happen. Floyd went under for arthroscopic surgery and they did microfracture instead. This may have been the correct treatment but it’s a far less successful surgery and if this wasn’t a presented option before hand he’s got a case.
