Maine Celtics News Release
PORTLAND, ME - The Maine Red Claws, presented by Quirk Chevrolet, today announced that forward Stephane Lasme underwent successful surgery on his left foot yesterday afternoon to repair a stress fracture. The surgery was performed by Dr. Gregory Pomeroy at Mercy Hospital in Portland. Lasme will be sidelined indefinitely. The Red Claws will retain his rights, and he could return to the Red Claws when healthy.
"We were very excited to have Stephane Lasme on our team, and it is disappointing that Red Claws fans will have to wait to see what an incredible athlete and person he is," said Red Claws President and General Manager Jon Jennings. "First and foremost, however, our concern is with Stephane, and his health and career. We wish him the best in his recovery and look forward to seeing him playing at the Expo as soon as possible."
The Red Claws also waived guards Tajuan Porter and JaJuan Smith, reducing the roster to ten players.
