Patrick Patterson: Undergoes arthroscopic surgery on left knee

Patterson, who agreed to a three-year, $16.4 million contract with the Thunder
during free agency, underwent a quick clean-up procedure, so there’s no
structural damage or anything that could keep him out for an extended period of
time. His four-to-six week timetable puts him in good shape for a return prior
the start of training camp on Sept. 26, although the Thunder could ease him back
into the swing of things early on to avoid any sort of setbacks. Patterson is
currently the favorite to start at power forward following the departure of
Domantas Sabonis to the Pacers, which should allow the 6-foot-9 big man a chance
to boost his overall production after averaging 24.6 minutes per game in a
reserve capacity with the Raptors last season.
