Los Angeles Lakers guard Devonte Cacok will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and is expected to be out for six to eight weeks, according to Shams.
The surgery will take place as early as Wednesday.
Derwent had been plagued by a knee injury for the past two months, and although his knee swelled again after his return, he ultimately decided to undergo surgery to solve the problem.
For the Lakers, their investment in Derwent could be a waste.
This season, Derwent has played in just five games, averaging 5 points per game4 points, 1 rebound0, 3 assists0 times.
Last season, Derwent performed well for the Miami Heat and was a key contributor to the team in the playoffs.
Because of this, the Lakers leadership decided to let Denis Schroder go and rely on Devonte, who has been an eye-catcher in the playoffs.
However, things didn't go as they planned.
After Derwent joined the Lakers, his stats dropped dramatically, shooting 37 from the field this season5%, and the three-point shooting percentage is as low as 118%。
Some fans even mocked the Lakers as a retirement home for Heat players because Nunn had previously experienced an unsuccessful period with the Lakers.
In the last season of the Heat, Nunn averaged 15+3+3 data per game, but after joining the Lakers, he encountered the best data and finally left the Lakers.
The incident seems to be a repeat of Nunn's tragedy, and the Lakers need to think hard about how to improve the team's overall performance and rebuild the confidence of the players.
For Derwente, hopefully he can get through the recovery period from surgery, get back on the pitch as soon as possible, and prove his quality.
Fans are also looking forward to him recovering as soon as possible and contributing more fighting power to the team.
