L.A. Clippers center Serge Ibaka underwent back surgery in Los Angeles on Thursday, June 10. He will miss the remainder of the NBA post-season.
Ibaka played 41 games for the Clippers this regular season, starting 39 times, for an average of 11.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in limited action: 23.3 minutes per game. He missed two months of action, from mid March through mid May, but played just six minutes in a first round Game 2 against the Mavericks on May 25, and hasn’t been on the court since.
The Clippers are currently down 0-2 to the Utah Jazz in their second round playoff series.
