What It Means:

Arthroscopic surgery is usually only a 4-6 week recovery period, and Barea said he's still hopeful to play for Puerto Rico at the Olympics this summer. He has plenty of time to rest up for the 2016-17 season, but it's unlikely he plays enough at the start of the year to warrant a draft selection in standard formats.

Barea averaged just 6.3 points per game in the playoffs -- a first round loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder -- compared to 21.0 points per game in 8 of his last 10 games before he hurt his groin. He shot just 32.4 percent from the floor in the 4 games he played this postseason.
