Per Adrian Wojnarowski of the ESPN, Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Paul George underwent rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday (07/05) to repair a partially torn tendon in his right shoulder.

He is expected to make a full recovery, although it won’t be until the preseason that the Thunder will next address a timeframe for his return.

According to the report, along with George, who will also soon have a procedure done to correct a small tear in the labrum of his left shoulder, All-Star guard Russell Westbrook had a procedure done to repair a torn ligament in a finger on his left hand.

Westbrook also had a minor procedure on his surgically repaired right knee on Tuesday (07/05), described as proactive maintenance.
