MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Martell Webster will miss the next four to six weeks to recover from back surgery.
The team said Webster had the operation on Monday. He was hurt in the playoffs last season with Portland and the injury flared up this month.
The former lottery pick was acquired from the Trail Blazers in a trade for the 16th overall pick on draft night in June. Webster was in line to compete with Corey Brewer for the starting shooting guard spot.
Webster played at least 30 minutes in 32 games last season. His numbers in those games were 16.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 48 percent shooting and 44 percent from 3-point range.

Geez, I never saw this coming.....
Brewer should be salivating at the mouth right now, gives Ellington and Johnson a chance to play good minutes off the bench and battle for the starting spot.
Bad news for Webster, hope he recovers well.
