The Detroit Pistons center Jahlil Okafor has undergone surgery to clean the lateral meniscus in his left knee.
Okafor is expected to miss 6-8 weeks.
Per the Detroit News, “Okafor, 25, signed with the Pistons in the offseason as a free agent, looking to become the backup center and to allow rookie [Isaiah] Stewart to grow into the position as he learned.”
