Oklahoma City Thunder center Enes Kanter had surgery Friday to repair the fractured right forearm that he suffered after punching a chair on the bench during Thursday's game, general manager Sam Presti said.
The team said Kanter, who is averaging 14.4 points and 6.7 rebounds in just 21.6 minutes per game, will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks. League sources told ESPN's Royce Young on Thursday that he could miss up to two months.
Kanter, who had slapped the floor in frustration a few minutes earlier, walked to the bench during a second quarter timeout and slammed his fist into the padded chair.
