Kevin Garnett Undergoes Knee Surgery

BOSTON (AP) ― Kevin Garnett is recovering from surgery on his injured right knee.

The Boston Celtics star forward had the operation Tuesday after missing all of the playoffs and most of the last two months of the regular season.

The team said the NBA's 2008 defensive player of the year had bone spurs removed during the arthroscopic surgery.

Garnett played in just 57 games, the second fewest of his 14-year career. He averaged 15.8 points with 8.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game.
