Danny Green gets Lasik eye surgery after rough shooting year
San Antonio Spurs guard Danny Green is typically a reliable shooter, especially from three-point range. This season — not so much.
Green shot a career-worst 37.6 percent from the field and converted 33.2 percent from beyond the arc, which was his most inefficient production since his rookie season. Perhaps that inspired the 28-year-old to have surgery to correct his vision.
Manrique Custom Vision in San Antonio recently shared some photos on Facebook congratulating Green on his successful LASIK procedure.
“Congrats Danny Green on your Eagle Vision thanks to Dr. Manrique,” the company wrote. “Our staff and your fans are all very happy for you. There’s only one Dr. Manrique and he’s right here!!”
We should note that Green found his stroke in the playoffs, when he hit 50 percent of his shots from downtown and 46.2 percent overall. Still, something seemed off during the regular season.
Hopefully Green sees better immediate results than this PGA star saw when he underwent LASIK. After signing him to a four-year, $40 million contract last summer, the Spurs are certainly hoping for the best.
