Landry Fields, a free-agent guard, reportedly will spend the next five months recovering from hip surgery.

Fields, 27, had a torn labrum repaired, a league source told Yahoo Sports on Thursday.

Fields had spent parts of the past three seasons with the Toronto Raptors. Last season, he played in just 26 games as he struggled with an arm injury.

In five seasons with the New York Knicks (2010-11) and Raptors, Fields has averaged 6.8 points and 4.3 rebounds.
