Portland Trail Blazers forward Vit Krejci underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair a fracture in his left ankle and will be re-evaluated in eight weeks.
Krejci sustained the injury during Portland’s Nov. 4 matchup against the Phoenix Suns, a 132-119 Trail Blazers victory. The procedure was performed by Dr. Ken Jung at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedics in Los Angeles.
The 26-year-old will begin the recovery process immediately, with his next evaluation scheduled for eight weeks from now.
Krejci appeared in seven games for Portland this season, averaging 2.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 10.3 minutes per game. He recorded five points, three rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes against Phoenix before exiting with the injury.
Krejci is in his first full season with Portland after joining the Trail Blazers late last season. He previously spent time with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Atlanta Hawks.
