RALEIGH, N.C. (January 31, 2000) -- NC State center Ron Kelley underwent successful arthroscopic knee surgery January 31 and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks of action for the Wolfpack (14-4, 4-3). Drs. Lyman Smith and Wally Andrew of the Raleigh Orthopedic Clinic performed the surgery at Rex Hospital. The debridement procedure repaired damaged articular cartilage (which lines the bone) in Kelley's left knee.
