Philadelphia 76ers' President Billy King announced Tuesday that rookie forward Herbert Hill has undergone successful surgery on a torn meniscus in his left knee. According to doctors, the timeline for Hill's return is approximately 4-6 weeks.
Dr. James Andrews performed the procedure in Birmingham, Alabama. Team Physician Dr. Jack McPhilemy assisted in the surgery, which took place Tuesday.
A product of Providence College, Hill was originally drafted by the Utah Jazz with the 55th overall selection in the 2007 NBA Draft before being dealt to the Sixers in a draft night trade for Kyrylo Fesenko and future draft considerations.

Samuel Dalembert, coming back from a stress fracture in his left foot, made it through two weekend practices, seemingly significantly increasing the chances of him being available for Wednesday's season opener in Toronto.
He went though drills but no contact Saturday. He felt his level of optimism climbing, with the caveat of waiting to see how he would feel today.
"After that, everything is just . . . pray," said Dalembert, who revealed that he has grown to 267 pounds after weighing between 245 and 250 last season, when he was the only Sixer to start all 82 games.
"Hopefully, it doesn't get worse or be unbearable. Chances are good [to be ready against the Raptors]. I have to admit, I was surprised myself [yesterday]."
