Lakers forward Luol Deng has surgery on pectoral muscle

Los Angeles Lakers forward Luol Deng underwent successful surgery this morning to repair his right pectoral muscle.

Deng is expected to make a full recovery by the start of the 2017-18 training camp.

The 32-year-old Deng averaged a career-low 7.2 points per game last season, his first with the Lakers after agreeing to a four-year, $72 million contract last summer.
