Holland: Weiss 'needs a great summer'

Stephen Weiss explains, via Michigan Live, the difficulties of his 2013-14 campaign, how he shouldn't have tried to play through what was later diagnosed as a sports hernia and how the disappointment of his season, "fuels the fire for this summer and next year.”

“He needs a great summer,” general manager Ken Holland said. “He’s basically played half a year the last two years. It’s hard to know where he’s going to be in September.

“Is he going to be healthy? Was that small surgery that was performed last week the answer to what ails him? Is he able to have a June, July and August where he’s able to hit the gym and come to camp healthy, fit and ready to go? Or are we going to wake up in early June and he’s where he was a month ago and we’re going to continue to be looking for answers as to why he isn’t getting healthy?

“I don’t have an answer for you. I thought he’d be healthy six weeks ago. So for me to stand here and say he’s going to be healthy in a month, he’s going to have a great summer, he’s going to have a great year, I don’t know that. We need him to get healthy before anything positive can happen.”
