Auburn forward Horace Spencer underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair an injured left shoulder. Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl said the big man's operation was "successful."
The surgery, which was done by Dr. James Andrews revealed a "pretty significant tear in the labrum" of Spencer's left shoulder.
"He had the surgery yesterday, it went well, and I got a chance to see him yesterday when he got back," Pearl said. "There wasn’t a lot of damage that went along with it. The doctor felt like it was very successful."
The surgery will not allow Spencer to return this season, but the sophomore is expected to be healthy at the start of the 2018 season. The rehab process is expected to last four to five months.
Spencer finished this season averaging 4.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and a team-high 28 blocks in just 19 games played.
