Kings veteran Matthew Dellavedova underwent successful right index finger surgery, the team announced (Twitter link via James Ham of TheKingsBeat.com).
The longtime reserve guard broke his finger last Wednesday against the Thunder. According to the Kings, Dellavedova will be out indefinitely as he begins the rehabilitation process, but he is expected to make a full recovery.
Dellavedova, 32, is only averaging 6.7 minutes per game in 32 appearances as Sacramento’s third-string point guard, so his absence likely won’t impact the Kings much during their playoff push. The nine-year veteran is playing on a minimum-salary contract in 2022/23 and will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.
Scary stuff. Praying for him and his family
Good stuff. Hope he comes back early for the first round matchup with Sir Dennis Schroder and his surging Lakers team.
It says he’s out indefinitely i.e. he may never come back. Forget basketball, this man has a family…
