The team expects him to return in eight to ten weeks. The Thunder also reported that guard Cason Wallace underwent surgery Friday for a labral tear in his left shoulder, performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache at the Cedars‑Sinai Kerlan‑Jobe Institute in Los Angeles with Thunder medical staff present. Wallace will be evaluated again before the season’s end.
