New Jersey Nets guard Eddie House underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on Monday, October 16, to remove torn lateral meniscus from his left knee, Nets President Rod Thorn announced today. The surgery was performed by Dr. David Altchek and Dr. Riley Williams III at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.
House, acquired by the Nets as a free agent on August 17, 2006, will begin rehabilitation immediately. There is no timetable for his return.
House, a 6-1 guard out of Arizona State, averaged a career high 9.8 points for Phoenix during the 2005-06 season to go along with 1.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists on .422 (320-759) from the field and .389 (123-316) from three in 81 contests. A six-year NBA veteran, House holds career averages of 7.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 378 contests.
The former second round pick (37th overall) of the Miami Heat in the 2000 NBA Draft has played for six separate teams during his NBA career including Miami, L.A. Clippers, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns.
