Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry had successful surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team announced.

The procedure was performed by Dr. Michelle Carlson at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

Landry missing five games in January as a result of the wrist injury. An initial evaluation by Dr. Carlson indicated surgery was not necessary. When pain in the wrist continued during the offseason, Landry underwent an MRI this week, and that showed that surgery was needed.

Landry is expected to be sidelined four to five months.

He averaged 7.2 and 3.8 rebounds during the 2014-2015 season.
