Livingston's Surgery A 'Minor Setback'

Thunder coach Scott Brooks isn't overly concerned about guard Shaun Livingston's latest knee issue.

He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday to remove staples that were placed in his knee during reconstructive surgery more than two years ago.

"This is a little, minor setback," said Brooks. "He should be fine pretty quick. I like the toughness he has displayed coming back from a devastating injury. He was playing good. He just wasn’t in the rotation."

Livington To Undergo Another Knee Surgery

Oklahoma City's Shaun Livingston will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee it was announced today by the team. “Recently, Shaun has experienced an increase in swelling following activity,” said Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti. “Although his knee is structurally sound, after consulting with the Thunder medical staff and Dr. James Andrews, it was determined that the best course of action was to perform a minor procedure to resolve the swelling and allow Shaun to continue full activity in the coming weeks.” Dr. Andrews will perform the surgery today, in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Andrews will remove staples from Livingston’s knee that have recently caused some swelling in the knee. The staples were originally placed during Livingston’s knee reconstruction that was performed by Dr. Andrews on March 13, 2007.
