• Sonics' Sene has surgery

  
  

  Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Seattle SuperSonics center Mouhamed Sene underwent surgery earlier this week to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, the team announced Thursday.

  Sene had the surgery April 14, during which doctors discovered a chondral defect that required microfracture surgery. He will be on crutches for six weeks and will have continual evaluation.

  The former first-round draft choice -- 10th overall in 2006 -- injured the knee during an NBA Development League game on April 4, while playing for the Idaho Stampede.

  Sene appeared in 13 games for the Sonics this season, posting averages of 2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in 4.8 minutes. He has career NBA averages of 2.0 points and 1.2 boards.
