Guard Earl Watson is expected to be ready in time for the debut of Oklahoma City's new NBA franchise following surgery on his right thumb.
General manager Sam Presti said Friday that Watson's surgery Thursday in Los Angeles was successful and the seven-year NBA veteran will make a full recovery.
Watson, 29, averaged career highs in points (10.7), assists (6.8), rebounds (2.9) and minutes (29.1) last season with the Seattle SuperSonics, who announced officially this week that they will be moving to Oklahoma City.
Watson is expected to help tutor first-round pick Russell Westbrook of UCLA this season.
Watson injured his thumb Monday while playing a game in Los Angeles.
