The Oklahoma City Thunder announced Wednesday that guard Russell Westbrook underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.

Thunder said Westbrook underwent the successful surgery, which was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles.

Westbrook's surgery was determined after he experienced inflammation in his knee over the weekend, Thunder said.

Westbrook will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Any updates about Westbrook will be provided then.

Last season, Westbrook led the league in assists (10.3) and rebounds (10.1).
