Utah Jazz center Jaren Jackson Jr. underwent successful knee surgery, the team announced via social media on Tuesday.
Jackson’s surgery was done to remove a localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) growth in his left knee. He’ll begin rehab and be evaluated after four weeks. The procedure was performed by Dr. Travis Maak on Tuesday morning in Salt Lake City.
Utah acquired Jackson at the trade deadline earlier this month in an eight-player multi-draft pick deal with the Memphis Grizzlies. Jackson is in his eighth NBA season and making $35 million this year. That number jumps to $50 million next season and to over $52 million the following year.
