NEW YORK, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Kevin Martin, who leads the Minnesota Timberwolves with 20.4 points a game this season, underwent successful surgery to repair a fractured right wrist, the NBA club announced on Wednesday.
The operation, performed by Thomas Graham at the Cleveland Clinic, is expected to sideline the 31-year-old point guard from six to eight weeks.
Martin suffered the injury early in the first quarter of Minnesota's 115-99 victory over the New York Knicks last Wednesday, a matchup in which he scored 37 points. He has missed two games since then.
