Trevor Ariza will be out for around eight weeks after right ankle surgery, the LA Lakers announced.
“Lakers forward Trevor Ariza had an arthroscopic debridement procedure performed on his right ankle on Wednesday. He is expected to make a full and complete recovery. Team doctors will reevaluate Ariza in approximately 8 weeks, and an update will be provided at that time,” the team’s statement read.
Ariza played 30 games for the Miami Heat last season, averaging 9.4 points and 4.8 rebounds in 28 minutes. He shot 35% from deep.
He returned to the Lakers with a one-year deal he signed in August this year. Ariza won the title with the Lakers back in 2009.
