Puig suffered the injury during the Western Conference Final against the Seattle Sounders on Nov. 30, but remarkably played over 30 minutes with the injury and provided the game-winning assist.
The 24-year-old had a breakout season in 2024, contributing 37 goals and assists in 36 matches for the Galaxy.
Puig’s performances earned him a spot on the MLS Best XI. Puig had eight goal contributions (4 G, 4 A) in the postseason, as the Galaxy went on to clinch their sixth MLS Cup title.
Puig’s recovery timeline will be determined in the coming weeks.
