London Lions Point Guard Tarik Phillip underwent successful knee surgery and will be side-lined indefinitely.
"TARIK SUFFERED A KNEE INJURY THAT WILL REQUIRE HIM TO BE OUT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I AM CONFIDENT HE WILL ATTACK HIS REHAB AND FIND WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE, WHILE MAKING HIS WAY BACK ON THE COURT. WE WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON HIS STATUS AT A LATER DATE IN THE SEASON."
