San Antonio Spurs center Ian Mahinmi yesterday underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle. The surgery was performed in Los Angeles by Dr. Richard Ferkel.
During the surgery a small piece of avulsed bone was removed from Mahimni's ankle. During activity, the bone was becoming entrapped in the medial aspect of the ankle, leading to persistent pain. The surgery revealed no other cartilage defects throughout the ankle or distal tibia.
Mahinmi originally injured the ankle while working out on 8/4. He had yet to appear for the Spurs this season due to the injury.
The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have recalled Malik Hairston from the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League (D-League). 
TNT featured a double-header of quality NBA action on Thursday night, with the Magic and Spurs winning marquee games.
