Kyle Singler underwent minor arthroscopic knee surgery Friday at the Duke Medical Center, Duke Sports Information said in a statement. Singler is expected to make a full recovery in time for the start of practice October 15.
“Kyle had some discomfort in his knee following a very busy summer, so we elected to go in and clean it up prior to the start of the season,” associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. “By all accounts, today’s surgery was a success and Kyle will be back at full strength before the start of practice.”
Singler’s busy schdule this summer may have helped to bring on the surgery. The senior forward participated in the Lebron James Skills Academy and the Chris Paul Elite Guard Camp, and also practiced with the U.S. National Team before the FIBA World Championships began late last month.
