Kevin Seraphin had knee surgery earlier this summer, according to report

Seraphin should be healthy by training camp, but won't play in the World Championships.

Kevin Seraphin apparently battled knee trouble all last season. Now, with the year over, he's taking care of it. Via CSN Washington's J Michael.

Seraphin should be fine for training camp, but the injury will sideline him for next month's World Championships, according to FIBA's website:

The procedure appears to be a standard arthroscopy to clean out the kind of wear and tear that often develops in a knee over the course of the season. Michael suggested it became a problem as early as December and resurfaced in March. Seraphin played in just 53 games last season, though many of those were DNP-Coaches Decision.

This may partially explain why Seraphin is sticking around for one more season at a somewhat-hefty $3.8 million salary. The Wizards could believe Seraphin's performance will improve with a healthy knee. Of course, it may not, and there's not a ton of playing time for Seraphin anyway if everyone stays relatively healthy.
