Another Trail Blazer has had surgery, and the team says that forward/center Channing Frye will be back in a couple of months.
Frye underwent arthroscopic surgery Monday to remove bone spurs from his left ankle.
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on Saturday and Computed Tomography (CT) Scan on Monday revealed the spurs.
"Channing underwent arthroscopic surgery today on his left ankle after recently experiencing discomfort," General Manager Kevin Pritchard said in a statement. "We expect him to make a full recovery in 8-10 weeks."
Dr. Richard Ferkel performed the surgery at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Van Nuys, Calif.
The 6-11 Frye, 25, played in 78 games last season, averaging 6.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in 17.2 minutes.
