As he looked ahead to his offseason last Saturday, Alex Abrines dropped a significant hint.
During his appearance at Thunder exit interviews, the second-year guard said he'd had some “issues in my groin” and that he'd be seeing a specialist to “take care of some issues in my body.”
He got the groin issue squared away on Thursday with what the Thunder called “a successful procedure to address a sports hernia.” Dr. William Meyers of the Vincera Institute in Philadelphia performed the surgery.
Abrines is expected to be out six to eight weeks, after which time he'll return to “normal offseason activities,” according to a Thunder news release.
