Connecticut Sun All-Star forward Asjha Jones underwent surgery to remove debris in her left Achilles' tendon on Monday. She is expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks meaning she should not have to miss any games for the WNBA franchise.

The surgery was conducted by Connecticut Sun orthopedist Dr. Ammar Anbari at Backus hospital.

Jones averaged 16.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23 games before being sidelined for the final 11 games of the 2009 season with a strained left Achilles tendon.

Speaking of the Sun, the team will hold an open forum with fans tonight from 6-8 p.m. at Mohegan Sun's Cabaret Theatre where head coach Mike Thibault, assistant coach Scott Hawk and general manager Chris Sienko will take questions from the studio audience.
