CLEVELAND, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Cleveland center Anderson Varejao will have surgery on his injured right knee and will miss more than six weeks of playing time, the Cavaliers said Wednesday.
Varejao, 30, suffered a knee contusion in a Dec. 18 game. He hasn't played since. Team officials said there has been "continued, gradual recovery" but examinations have uncovered additional issues.
