PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland Trail Blazers star Brandon Roy will have surgery on both of his knees next week.

The team says there is no timetable for the All-Star guard’s return.

Roy has missed 16 games this season because of soreness in his knees, which he has said is caused by a lack of cartilage.

Roy is averaging 16.6 points in 23 games this season. For his career, the three-time All-Star and 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year is averaging 19.9 points and 4.9 assists.
