Sacramento Kings leading scorer Kevin Martin underwent surgery on his injured left wrist.

The NBA team said Martin had the procedure to repair a hairline fracture in the shooting guard's left wrist on Monday at the UC Davis Medical Center.

Martin will be released from the hospital later in the day.

The 26-year-old is expected to miss at least eight weeks with the injury. He is averaging 30.6 points a game for the Kings.
