SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Sacramento Kings point guard Darren Collison will have surgery next week and be sidelined for at least another month.

The team said Thursday the operation is to repair a "core muscle injury." Collison has missed the past seven games with what the team said was a strained right hip flexor.

The Kings say Collison is to meet with Dr. William Meyers on Monday in Philadelphia. Collison will have surgery Tuesday and be re-evaluated in three to six weeks.

Collison was injured in Sacramento's loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 5.

He is averaging a career-high 16.1 points to go with 5.6 assists and 3.2 rebounds. Recently acquired Andre Miller, second-year player Ray McCallum and rookie reserve David Stockton will continue to divide time in Collison's absence.
