Sixers swingman Justin Anderson underwent surgery on his left leg Friday to address recurring tibial stress syndrome, according to a team release.
He will be re-evaluated in two weeks and once again in 6-8 weeks. The team will provide another update after the second re-evaluation.
Anderson came off the bench in 38 games last season, his third in the league. He averaged 6.2 PPG and 2.4 RPG in 13.7 MPG. Anderson began his career with the Mavericks after being selected with the No. 21 overall pick in 2015.
Anderson is still on his rookie contract and has an approximate $2.5MM guarantee next season.
Surprised he didn’t see a bigger role, I get Sixers are a good young team with Cov and Dario, but they were high on Anderson
He can be a decent player on a weak team, but Philly was competing last year, so he really felt short of what the team needed.
