A doctor has confirmed that Charles Barkley suffers from bone spurs in his right shoulder, and he will undergo arthroscopic surgery in mid-June, the Philadelphia 76ers said.

General Manager John Nash said Barkley was examined Thursday in Birmingham, Ala., by Dr. James Andrews, who has performed surgery on a number of prominent athletes needing similar treatment.

“The procedure will be followed by six to eight weeks of rehabilitation, which is expected to have Charles Barkley back at 100%,” Nash said.
