FC Barcelona announced on Wednesday that point guard Juan Nunez underwent surgery at the Hospital de Barcelona and is expected to be sidelined for the next six months. The procedure was an arthroscopic examination of his right knee. A meniscal cyst was removed and the sutures from the initial surgery performed on March 11 were reinforced.
Nunez made a recovery from the March operation and began preseason training, even excelling in an exhibition game against Paris Basketball. However he then experienced an inflammatory reaction in his knee. It was decided that he would undergo an exploratory arthroscopy at the Hospital de Barcelona by Dr. Joan Carles Monllau, under the supervision of FC Barcelona's medical services.
Last season was Nunez's first with Barcelona and he averaged 5.0 points and 3.4 assists over 25 EuroLeague games before sustaining the injury.
