PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, the second overall pick in the NBA draft, will undergo surgery to repair a small ligament tear in his right shoulder.
The surgery will be performed Wednesday by Dr. Neal Elattrache in Los Angeles, Portland said Tuesday. The amount of time Aldridge will need to recover will be determined after the surgery.
On draft night, the Trail Blazers acquired Aldridge, who played at Texas, and a future second-round draft pick from the Chicago Bulls for forward Viktor Khryapa and the draft rights to Tyrus Thomas, who was selected fourth overall.
