Morrison has surgery to repair torn knee ligament
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte Bobcats forward Adam Morrison underwent surgery Saturday to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Morrison suffered the season-ending injury in an exhibition game on Oct. 20. The team said the surgery, performed by team physician Dr. Glenn Perry, was successful.
Morrison will remain hospitalized until Monday, when he'll begin several months of rehabilitation. Morrison is expected to be healthy in time for the start of training camp next fall.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 2006 draft, Morrison averaged 11.8 points last season.
