Pelicans rookie Derik Queen out at least 3 months after surgery for torn wrist ligament
Queen was hurt Tuesday while playing in an NBA Summer League game. The Pelicans said he would be evaluated again in approximately 12 weeks, which would be after camps have begun.
The procedure Friday was to address a torn scapholunate ligament. It was performed by Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles.
The 6-foot-9 Queen was the Big Ten freshman of the year after averaging 16.5 points for Maryland. His buzzer-beater against Colorado State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament sent the Terrapins into the Sweet 16, where they lost to eventual national champion Florida.
He was taken with the No. 13 pick in the draft by Atlanta and the Pelicans acquired his rights in a trade.
