This surgery marks the second time in over a year he has had to go under the knife, capping a challenging season where he played in only 19 games due to various injuries and a suspension. The 76ers, who had high hopes entering the season with new signings, ended up with a disappointing 24-56 record and 13th place in the Eastern Conference.
