Suns forward Dario Saric underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair meniscus in his right knee on Thursday, Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic tweets.
There’s no timetable for his return. Saric missed the entire season after suffering a torn ACL in his right knee during Game 1 of last year’s Finals.
The power forward made $8.51MM this season while on the mend and has another $9.24MM guaranteed for 2022/23. It’s a troubling sign that Saric needed another knee procedure 10 months after the initial injury, putting his status for training camp in some jeopardy.
Saric, 28, entered the NBA during the 2016/17 season with Philadelphia. He averaged double digits in points until last season, when he came off the bench in 46 of 50 regular season games. He averaged 8.7 PPG and 3.8 RPG in 17.4 MPG in those games, then appeared in 14 postseason contests.
That’s a real shame, Super Dario was great in PHI!
Always thought PHI made a huge mistake by trading RoCo & Dario for Butler, team was much better with those 2 playing together with Simmons/Embiid… will never understand why they did that, but I know that they will never win a ring with Embiid as a result of that dreadful trade!
They basically traded all the process players for him. Should of just kept everyone. Give Ben Simmons and Joel Emboid years off but give Markele Fulks crap for almost missing his first season. You of kept Hollis Thompson,TJ McConnell, Saric, Covington and MCW. The process is done now
J Okafor and hinkie paid for your sins Philly
