    New Jersey Nets centre Nenad Krstic underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

    The team said the surgery was performed by doctors David Altcheck and Riley Williams III at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

    Krstic suffered the injury in the third quarter of a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 22. He will miss the rest of the season, but is expected to return by the start of training camp before the 2007-2008 season.

    The seven-foot native of Serbia averaged career highs of 16.4 points and 6.8 rebounds in 26 games this season, his third in the NBA.
