NEW YORK (AP) — New York Liberty guard Betnijah Laney-Hamilton had successful surgery on her right knee on Tuesday and is expected to return soon after the Olympic break.
Sandy Brondello said that Laney-Hamilton had two loose bodies in her knee — something similar she said to what the Liberty coach had in her own shoulder.
“B had a little bit of a clean-up today and if you're going to have a clean-up it's probably a good time," Brondello said. “Everything went well.”
The guard is averaging 12.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists for New York, which has the best record in the league.
