The New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum underwent successful surgery yesterday to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right thumb, the team announced Wednesday.
Additionally, according to the Pelicans, McCollum will not require surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder; McCollum will undergo an offseason rehabilitation program focused on shoulder stabilization and strengthening.
McCollum, 31, is expected to make a full recovery for both injuries prior to the start of training camp.
Last season, the nine-year veteran averaged 20.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.7 rebounds per game.
