(The Sports Xchange) – San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker underwent successful surgery on Friday to repair his ruptured left quadriceps tendon, the team announced.
Parker suffered the injury during Wednesday’s Game Two win over the Houston Rockets. An MRI exam on Thursday determined the severity.
A timeline for Parker’s return will be determined at a later date.
The Frenchman, 34, has been part of four NBA title squads with the Spurs.
Parker was averaging 15.9 points in eight playoff games, a vast improvement over his regular-season average of 10.1.
Parker, who scored 18 points on Wednesday, was clutching his left knee as he lay on the floor after missing a short shot with 8:52 remaining in the contest.
