The Oklahoma City Thunder announced that Russell Westbrook underwent successful surgery on Saturday to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee.
Westbrook will miss the remainder of the 2013 NBA playoffs.
Westbrook suffered the right knee injury in Game 2 of the Thunder's first-round series against the Houston Rockets, when Patrick Beverley collided with him as he tried to call a timeout.
Rehab will begin immediately for Westbrook and a timetable for his return will be determined during the offseason.
