This won't have much of an impact when it comes to the fake basketball world, but it's sure to stunt the growth of a rookie top-five pick. 

Phoenix Suns forward Dragan Bender underwent successful surgery to remove a bone spur in his ankle and will be out four-to-six weeks. An original report on Wednesday indicated Bender would be lost for the season, but that now doesn't appear to be the case. 

The rookie No. 4 overall pick from Croatia was averaging just 3.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in limited action this season. He's safety on the waiver wire in re-draft leagues, but we'll want to see how he returns to the court when determining the younster's value in dyno formats. Until then, look for Marquese Chriss and Jared Dudley to see slight uptick in minutes.
