EL SEGUNDO, Calif -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Isaiah Thomas is expected to be out four months after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to repair his right hip.
The team announced Thomas' recovery time after he had the surgery on Thursday afternoon.
Thomas opted for surgery after he flew to New York to have his hip further evaluated. The procedure was to "clean up the joint of all inflammatory debris related to his injury from last season," Dr. Bryan Kelly of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York told ESPN.
He played in a total of 32 games this season for the Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers.
