The Indiana Pacers' guard, Ben Sheppard, is scheduled to have surgery for a torn meniscus on Wednesday. The procedure will take place in Milwaukee, where the team is based. Sheppard, who plays for the Pacers, has been sidelined due to the injury. The surgery is expected to be routine and will involve repairing the damaged meniscus in his knee. The team has not provided an estimated recovery time, but it is anticipated that Sheppard will be out for several weeks. The injury was diagnosed during a recent physical examination. Sheppard's absence could impact the team's performance in the upcoming games. The Pacers have not announced any replacement for his position in the short term. The decision to proceed with surgery was made after consulting with medical professionals. The team is hopeful that Sheppard will return to full fitness in time for the season's second half.
