On Thursday Chamberlain has surgery on his ankle which left a flesh wound, and he was suppose to remain in the hospital for several days as a result of that.  Manager Joe Girardi said that they were at a place where jumping on trampolines was going on.  The injury will not allow him to put weight on the ankle for up to six weeks,  and will need serious rehabilitation.
