After LASIK, Spurs' Green eyes better shooting

SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs guard Danny Green refuses to visualize potential eyesight issues as the culprit in a subpar 2015-16 campaign, in which he finished with the second-lowest three-point shooting percentage of his career (38.5).

Still, that didn't stop the eighth-year veteran from undergoing LASIK eye surgery shortly after the team's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals.

"My eyesight wasn't that bad to begin with," Green said.

Perhaps that's true. But Green knocked down just 30.1 percent from three-point range during the 2015 calendar year; this, after connecting on better than 40 percent from long range over his first four seasons in San Antonio.
