According to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, OG Anunoby underwent surgery to remove a loose bone fragment in his right elbow. As a result, the forward will be sidelined for a minimum of three weeks.

Anunoby tried resting, but surgery was determined to be the best solution in the player's position, Wojnarowski adds.

The 26-year-old forward got into the record books earlier this season after getting traded from the Toronto Raptors. Anunoby registered an NBA-record +111 plus-minus during his first five games on a new team, shattering the previous record.

Anunoby has been averaging 15.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game this season.
