Wizards' Malcolm Brogdon: Undergoes thumb surgery

Brogdon underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Brogdon suffered the injury during Saturday's practice, but now there's a bit more clarity. While a timetable hasn't been officially announced, previous reports suggested he will miss at least a month of action. In his absence, guys like Bilal Coulibaly, Corey Kispert and Carlton Carrington could see more opportunity in the backcourt.
