New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Thursday afternoon for a meniscal repair, the team said in a news release.
Paul is expected to be out approximately 4-6 weeks. Dr. James Andrews preformed the surgery in Pensacola, Fla. He will be on crutches for 2-3 weeks and will begin rehabilitation immediately.
„Obviously this is a tough thing for me,” Paul said. „I have been fortunate through my career as a basketball player to not have suffered many injuries. The main thing is for me to get back healthy and to help this team however I can. Everything happens for a reason and I know I will come back stronger than ever. I have the utmost confidence in Darren Collison to step up in my absence.”
