Sixers' Justin Anderson has leg surgery to deal with recurring shin splints

Justin Anderson had surgery in his left leg on Friday at Indiana University Health to deal with his recurring shin splits.

The 76ers reserve swingman will be re-evaluated in two weeks and again in six-to-eight weeks.

The shin splits sidelined Anderson 21 games this past season. He averaged 6.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 13.7 minutes in 38 appearances.

Anderson’s best game came in the regular-season finale against the Milwaukee Bucks on April 11. He scored a season-high 25 points in the 130-95 victory.

One night after not having his number called, Anderson dominated the Bucks.
