Nuggets rookie Sonny Weems had surgery Thursday to repair a sports hernia.
Weems, a second-round pick who was acquired by the Nuggets on draft night, is expected to fully recover in time for the Sept. 30 start of training camp.
The Chicago Bulls selected Weems 39th overall out of Arkansas, then traded him to the Nuggets for a 2009 second-round pick.
Weems played five games for the Nuggets’ Summer League team, averaging 9.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 22 minutes.
