Stashed Thunder draft pick Alex Abrines undergoes surgery

According to club information, Alex Abrines of FC Barcelona Lassa underwent surgery on his acute appendicitis on Thursday night.

The surgery will sideline Abrines for the Round 8 home game against Olympiacos Piraeus, marking the first game Abrines will have missed this season.

The club has not established a return date for Abrines, who has averaged eight points and 1.6 rebounds in 17 Turkish Airlines Euroleague games this season.

Abrines, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard, was selected by the Thunder with the 32nd overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. He's played each of the past 3 1/2 seasons with FC Barcelona.
