Matt Barnes to undergo eye surgery

The Los Angeles Clippers have announced that Matt Barnes will need surgery after sustaining a retinal tear earlier this week.

The small forward picked up the eye injury during the team's game against the Memphis Grizzlies earlier this week.

The 33-year-old will miss at least two weeks while recovering from the operation, ruling him out for the remainder of the month.

Barnes has suffered a string of injuries since rejoining the Clippers during the summer.
