Wildcats Star Sidelined with Knee Injury

Perth Wildcats wing Todd Blanchfield has today undergone successful surgery to repair damaged cartilage in his left knee.
 
Blanchfield experienced inflammation in the joint following an on-court workout last week.
 
He underwent scans and, after review from Perth Wildcats medical staff, the decision was made to repair the injury surgically.
 
The 29-year-old is expected to be sidelined for three to four months with NBL22 scheduled to tip off on November 18.

Blanchfield joined the Wildcats prior to NBL21 averaging 15.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game as Perth made it all the way to the Grand Final.
