Kwame Brown underwent successful surgery on Wednesday to repair his torn right pectoralis major (the large chest muscle that attaches to his right shoulder), the Warriors announced.

The procedure was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthpaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. Brown will remain in Southern California for a brief time and begin rehabilitation upon his return to the Bay Area sometime next week. He is expected to be out for a minimum of three months.
