New Jersey Nets guard Keith Bogans has undergone ankle surgery and is expected to be fully recovered for training camp next season.

Bogans fractured his left ankle and tore his deltoid ligament during a Feb. 8 game at Detroit. General manager Billy King says the operation was done Monday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan.

Bogans joined the Nets as a free agent a week before he was hurt. He played in five games this season, averaging, 4.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 18.8 minutes a game.
