According to the Detroit Free Press Pistons’ first round draft pick Greg Monroe will be out for about a month after having minor surgery on a toe on his right foot.
Although he will miss a few weeks of workouts he isn’t expected to miss any time during training camp.
The 6-foot-11 center was drafted No. 7 overall last month in the NBA draft. He played on the Pistons’ summer-league team after signing a four-year contract.
Monroe, who is from New Orleans, averaged 16 points, about 10 rebounds and more than one block per game last season at Georgetown.
