Derik Queen, the promising rookie for the New Orleans Pelicans, has undergone surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his left wrist. Queen, who was the 13th overall pick in the recent NBA draft, sustained the injury during a Summer League game against the Portland Trail Blazers. His recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks, which coincides with the start of training camp. In his Summer League debut, Queen averaged 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 2.3 assists over three games, but struggled with turnovers, leading the league with 5.7 per game. As the Pelicans continue their pre-season activities, they will need to monitor Queen's recovery closely as they look towards the upcoming NBA season.
