CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cavaliers forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, is recovering after having his tonsils and adenoids out at the Cleveland Clinic on Tuesday, his second surgery in two summers. It is expected to help relieve his sleep apnea.

Bennett missed last year's NBA combine and summer league because of rotator-cuff surgery on his left shoulder, but the Cavs said he should be fully recovered in time to play in the summer league this year.

After the rotator cuff surgery, the 6-foot-8 Bennett arrived in training camp out of shape and it took him a while to catch up. He finished the season averaging 4.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 12.7 minutes in 52 games.

Just when he seemed to get comfortable on the floor and showed flashes of the skills he demonstrated at UNLV, he suffered a strained tendon in his left knee and missed 17 games near the end of the season before getting seven points and seven rebounds in 15 minutes during a 114-85 victory over Brooklyn in the last game of the season on April 16.

Earlier Tuesday evening, Bennett tweeted about a ''setback'' and ''2 in 2 years'' but the tweets were later deleted. He said he wasn't talking about coaches and then wished the fired Mike Brown well. He is the only Cavs player to mention Brown directly in a tweet.
