Reddish to undergo surgery prior to NBA draft


Projected high NBA draft pick Cam Reddish will undergo core-muscle surgery prior to the June 20 draft, The Athletic reported Friday.

Reddish played with the injury during his one season at Duke before entering the draft. His recovery time will be approximately six weeks, according to the The Athletic.

Reddish, a swingman, is viewed as a probable Top 10 pick. He is currently listed as the No. 8 selection in the mock draft at nbadraft.net.

The 6-foot-8 Reddish averaged 13.5 points and 3.7 rebounds in 36 games last season. He shot just 35.6 percent from the field, including 33.3 from 3-point range.
