Thabo Sefolosha will have surgery this week and will miss the remainder of the season, including the playoffs. He thanked family, friends and the Hawks in his public comments Tuesday.

“This has been a difficult time for me and I truly appreciate the support I have received from everyone,” Sefolosha said. “I am extremely disappointed that I will not be able to join my teammates on the court during the playoffs and apologize to them for any distraction this incident has caused. I will be cheering for them every step of the way and will be diligent in my rehabilitation.”

“I hope you can appreciate that I cannot discuss the facts of the case. … I will simply say that I am in great pain, have experienced a significant injury and that the injury was caused by the police.”
