At least two members of the New Orleans Hornets will attend training camp this fall after recovering from offseason surgeries.

Rookie guard Austin Rivers underwent a procedure to remove a bone spur from his right ankle, and guard Xavier Henry on Friday had arthroscopic surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, Hornets General Manager Dell Demps said Friday.

He said both players are expected to be recovered sufficiently to participate in camp, which will commence at the end of September in preparation for the Oct. 31 regular-season opener against the San Antonio Spurs.
