MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez has undergone surgery to address the back injury that has kept him from playing since the opening game of the season. The Bucks announced Thursday that Lopez had back surgery earlier that day in Los Angeles. Team officials did not provide a timetable for his eventual return. The 33-year-old center is in his fourth season with the Bucks and 14th season overall. He averaged 12 points and five rebounds last season while helping the Bucks win the NBA title.
