With the offseason here for a lot of NBA teams, it's time for their players to undergo minor surgeries to clean up things that bothered them during the regular season.

That was the case for Denver Nuggets center Mason Plumlee, who underwent successful surgery to repair a core muscle injury that bothered him during the regular season. The recovery period shouldn't affect him too much and he should be back at full strength once training camp rolls around.

According to the Nuggets' website, the surgery was performed by Dr. William Meyers at the Vincera Institute in Philadelphia.

For Plumlee, he played in 74 games this year and although at times he had a hard time finding the court, he still had a strong season. He played 19.4 minutes per game, averaging 7.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists. He shot an impressive 60.1 percent from the field. He really struggled from the line, shooting only 45.6 percent from the charity stripe.

Plumlee was acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers last year in the same trade that sent Jusuf Nurkic to Portland. He then signed an extension last September for three years and $41 million dollars.  In the 2018-19 season, Plumlee will make $12,917,808. If he gets cut from the roster, it would create almost $27 million in dead space, so expect him to be a part of the roster next year.

With the Nuggets saying it's playoff or bust next year, don't be surprised if they bring in another center to really push Plumlee and maybe steal some of his minutes.
