PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy will have surgery on Friday and will miss the playoffs.
Roy, who averaged 21.5 points, needs the surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.
The three-time All-Star was injured in Portland’s 91-88 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers last Sunday. He missed Portland’s final two regular season games.
Roy originally said that he would try to play on the knee for the playoffs. Sixth-seeded Portland plays the third-seeded Suns in the first round starting on Sunday in Phoenix.
