The Charlotte Hornets have announced that “Kemba Walker underwent a successful minor arthroscopic procedure on his left knee.” (NBA.com) This procedure will keep him out for about six weeks but he should return by July. Luckily, the surgery isn’t to repair a torn ligament so that is why it is considered to be minor.
According to Chris Kroeger, this surgery is “More precautionary on Kemba’s part. Just wanted to have some maintenance work done just like last year.” Even though it is a minor procedure, the fact that he is undergoing surgery on his left knee for the third straight year is a bit concerning.
