After two surgeries on his left foot cost him two summer-league and one training camp experiences, Timberwolves center Justin Patton now has broken his right foot in pre-draft workouts.
Patton will undergo surgery to repair that right foot in the coming days, a source with knowledge of the injury said.
Training camp begins Sept. 25.
The 16th overall pick in the 2017 draft, Patton fractured his left foot in the days after the draft and surgery on that foot kept him out of the team’s Las Vegas summer-league action and all of training camp.
He played 38 games for the Timberwolves’ Iowa team in the G League and impressed with his mobility and passing skills and four minutes in the NBA late in the season.
