Bulls G Valentine undergoes ankle surgery

(TSX / STATS) -- Chicago Bulls guard Denzel Valentine underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle, according to multiple reports.

Valentine, who dealt with two separate ankle injuries in his rookie season, had the surgical procedure to "clean up" the area of the ankle, ESPN reported.

Valentine, 23, posted a picture on Instagram of him wearing a walking boot on Tuesday. After his rehab, he is expected to be ready to play for the Bulls in the Vegas Summer League in July.

The 6-foot-6, 212-pound Valentine, drafted with the No. 14 overall pick last year out of Michigan State, averaged 5.1 points in 57 regular-season games. He played a total of 22 minutes in Chicago's first-round playoff loss to the Boston Celtics.
