Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that center Brendan Haywood had successful surgery to repair a torn dorsal scapho-lunate ligament in his right wrist. He originally suffered the injury on Thursday, October 2 during the Wizards’ training camp in Richmond, VA.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Michelle Carlson at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. Haywood is expected to make a full recovery after missing four to six months while recovering from the surgery. He will spend the next 10 weeks in a cast before he begins the rehabilitation process.
