Cam Johnson underwent successful meniscectomy procedure Tuesday on his right meniscus tear suffered in Friday's loss to Portland.
, a meniscectomy procedure involves making a large incision that exposes the knee joint and removing the damaged part of the meniscus.Considering the type of procedure, Johnson could be back in a couple of months. The Suns haven't released a timetable on his return as Johnson has missed Phoenix's last two games.
“I just feel bad for him,” Williams said. “Obviously it’s a tough thing to happen. He’s trained so hard to get ready for this season. Certainly important to our team. Just a tough blow. It’s easy to say injuries are part of the game, but it’s an unfortunate part that you wish a guy like that wouldn't have to deal with, or any player for that matter. We’re just hoping for a speedy recovery.”
