EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) -Los Angeles Lakers forward Luke Walton underwent surgery Friday to remove bone spurs and scar tissue and clean up some cartilage debris from his right ankle.
The team said the operation took about and hour and was performed by Dr. David Thordarson at the University of Southern California.

Walton averaged 7.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 74 games during the regular season and 6.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in the playoffs.
