DENVER—Denver Nuggets rookie Sonny Weems had surgery Thursday to repair a sports hernia, the team said.
Weems, a second-round pick who was acquired by the Nuggets on draft night, is expected to fully recover in time for the start of training camp on Sept. 30.
The Chicago Bulls picked Weems 39th overall, then traded him to the Nuggets for a 2009 second-round pick.
Weems played five games for the Nuggets’ entry in the 2008 NBA Summer League, averaging 9.2 points, three rebounds and 22.2 minutes.
