Indiana Fever guard and former Purdue star Stephanie White underwent successful surgery Friday to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a torn lateral meniscus in her left knee. The surgery was performed by Fever team orthopedist, Dr. Scott A. Lintner, at the Orthopedics Indianapolis Surgery Center.

�Stephanie�s ACL reconstruction went quite well,� said Lintner. �I anticipate a full recovery and return to all activities once she completes her rehabilitation.�

White will continue her offseason rehabilitation program and physical therapy under the supervision of Fever trainer Holly Heitzman-Allison.

White�s injury was diagnosed on Aug. 25, two days after she injured the knee during the Fever�s win vs. New York at Madison Square Garden. White�s knee buckled with 4:02 to play in the game and she did not return to action.

White, a four-year WNBA veteran who completed her third season with the Fever, ended the 2003 campaign as the Fever�s third-leading scorer averaging 6.9 points per game. She was second in the WNBA with a Fever franchise-record shooting 93.7 percent from the free throw line. She was fourth on the team with 58 assists.
