Lakers' Odom has shoulder surgery

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., May 15 (UPI) -- Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder Tuesday, the NBA team said.

Doctors repaired a torn labrum in Odom's shoulder. The forward was expected to be in a sling for about 10 days before beginning rehabilitation. The team said Odom is expected to be fully recovered before the team reports for training camp in October.

The Lakers said the 40-minute procedure was performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum at the Kerlan Jobe Surgery Center in Los Angeles.

Odom averaged 15.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 56 games with Los Angeles last season.
