Shareef is done for the year. He only got into 6 games and played only 51 minutes:
Abdur-Rahim has season-ending surgery
Quote:
Kings forward Shareef Abdur-Rahim underwent season-ending arthroscopic surgery today at the UC Davis Medical Center to remove bone spurs and joint lining from his right knee, the Kings announced on Friday.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Richard Marder, and it was the second time since June Abdur-Rahim has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Abdur-Rahim's recovery from the first procedure was never complete, as he missed the early part of October training camp and returned to action late in the preseason. But while Kings coach Reggie Theus gave Abdur-Rahim only limited playing time in the first few games, it became apparent quickly that the knee was not fully healed. Abdur-Rahim experienced swelling in the knee numerous time, and the 12-year veteran is believed to have had it looked at by at least three doctors.
