ESPN: Ibaka to Have Procedure on Knee

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — The Oklahoma City Thunder can’t catch a break. After losing All-Stars Russell Westbrook for 15 games and Kevin Durant for 39 games due to injuries this season, ESPN now reports that forward Serge Ibaka will undergo a knee procedure.

According to ESPN, Ibaka, who has missed the team’s past two games with what was called knee soreness, doesn’t have a timetable for his return.

The Thunder hasn’t announced Ibaka is having the procedure, but it did say in a statement Monday that he is visiting a specialist.

“As we continue to monitor and evaluate the soreness in Serge’s knee, in consultation with his representation, we decided the next best step is to have him travel to New York to see a specialist,” a team spokesman said. “We will provide an update as appropriate.”

The 25-year-old Ibaka is averaging 14.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game this season.
