Denver Nuggets guard Jon Barry, who was placed on the injured list Monday will need arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Barry is expected to miss a few weeks.

Nuggets GM Kiki Vandeweghe was surprised by the news but doesn't plan on signing anyone to replace Barry on the active roster.

"It was a little bit of a surprise,'' Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said. "It's a short recovery. We knew something was wrong. The doctors said he's one of the toughest guys they've seen playing with the tear.''
