Sources: Abdominal surgery likely shelves Clippers' Avery Bradley for rest of regular season

LA Clippers guard Avery Bradley underwent surgery to repair adductor and rectus abdominis muscles on Tuesday and will likely miss the rest of the regular season, league sources told ESPN.

Six weeks to eight weeks is the recovery time on the surgery, which would mean the Clippers would need to make the postseason for Bradley to have a chance to return this season.

The Clippers are 36-29 and holding on to the seventh seed.

Bradley, who'll be an unrestricted free agent this summer, hasn't played since prior to the February All-Star break for the Clippers, and only six games since he left Detroit as part of the Blake Griffin deal on January 29.
