Robinson to have knee surgery

Former Kansas University forward Thomas Robinson of the Brooklyn Nets will undergo arthroscopic surgery today to repair a small tear in the meniscus of his right knee, the NBA team has announced.

The Nets said the injury occurred while Robinson, 24, was working out Tuesday in New York. The club said it would provide a more comprehensive medical update once the procedure was completed. It’s unsure how much time he will miss.

He recently joined the Nets on a two-year contract.
