The more games Kelly Oubre Jr. missed, the more likely he’d wind up having surgery.
Oubre Jr. had successful arthroscopic procedure on his right knee Tuesday to address a torn meniscus, the Phoenix Suns announced Tuesday evening.
Having a career season, Oubre will miss a fourth straight game Tuesday night against defending NBA champion Toronto at Talking Stick Resort Arena.
He'll be re-evaluated in four weeks as the Suns essentially have five weeks remaining in the regular season that ends April 15 against the Los Angeles Lakers at home.
Yahoo! Sports Chris Haynes first reported the injury and that Oubre was seeking a second opinion, something Suns coach Monty Williams hinted to before that.
