Pelicans' Trevon Bluiett: Undergoes thumb surgery

Blueitt had surgery to repair a ligament in his thumb Friday, Andrew Lopez of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Blueitt has been struggling with a thumb injury of late, and he was forced to go under the knife to resolve the issue. A timetable for his return has yet to be released, although an update on his status moving forward should surface sometime soon.
