Last Friday, June 8, Boston Celtics guard/forward Abdel Nader underwent a right wrist arthroscopy and ulnar osteotomy. The purpose of the surgery was to correct lingering issues stemming from a fracture he suffered way back in high school.
Nader should be able to return to basketball activities in around 2-3 months. The team thinks he’ll be at full strength for the start of training camp.
In the 2017-18 regular season, Nader played in 48 games and averaged 3.0 points in 10.9 minutes per outing.
In the 2018 playoffs, he played in 11 games, and averaged 1.1 points in 3.0 minutes per outing.
The 6-6, 230-pound Nader is 24 years old and was drafted 58th overall in the 2016 draft. He played college basketball at Iowa State.
