Simmons Has First Of Two Surgeries On Right Foot

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Simmons underwent successful surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle on Tuesday.

Bucks general manager Larry Harris told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Dr. Richard Ferkel performed the surgery at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute in Van Nuys, Calif.

He now has to have another surgery to deal with a cyst in his right heel bone and plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tissue that connects the heel to base of the toes. That procedure has not been scheduled.

Villanueva Happy To Be In Milwaukee

The Charlie Villanueva selection in the 2005 NBA Draft drew the ire of many Raptors' fans, but so did the trade that sent him to Milwaukee.

"When I first heard about the trade I was a little bit shocked and it caught me off guard," Villanueva, 22, said. "I didn't expect them to trade me after my first year but then I sat back and looked at the situation in Milwaukee and I was like, `Wow, this is a good situation. This is a team that made it to the playoffs last year, won 40 games and has a chance to go to the playoffs again and they traded their starting point guard for me.'"
