Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body in his left knee, the team announced. Russell is expected to miss four to six weeks.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report the surgery.
Russell has missed the last three games due to "leg soreness," according to the team. Coach Ryan Saunders attributed the missed games and injuries to "heavy minutes."
In his 20 games played this season, Russell has averaged 29 minutes a game. There was no mention of a specific injury Russell was dealing with until this point.
