Former Duke guard J.J. Redick told ESPN.com on Tuesday that he has a herniated disc which is pressing on a nerve, but dismissed rumors that he needs surgery.

Redick said he received a cortisone shot and has been pain free for a week. He said he expects to play in the NBA summer league, the USA Basketball national team trials in July and during training camp with whichever team selects him in Wednesday night's NBA draft.

Redick said he suffered the injury while working out at Duke earlier this month before going to the pre-draft camp.

"It really flared up during the combine during the vertical tests and the sprinting," said Redick. "I've been pain free. It was asymptomatic. I've been doing exercises to strengthen my back. I'll be back on the court in a week."
