Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson underwent surgery Wednesday for his torn Achilles injury, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Dr. Richard Ferkel, who specializes in arthroscopic and reconstructive surgery of the knee, shoulder, foot, ankle and cartilage restoration, performed the surgery in Los Angeles. The surgery was a success, according to Wojnarowski.
Thompson tore his Achilles on Nov. 19, just hours before the 2020 NBA draft. The injury occurred during a workout in Southern California with other NBA players present. Thompson was reportedly unable to place weight on his lower right leg while leaving the gym.
