Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Detroit Pistons head coach Larry Brown underwent hip surgery Wednesday morning and is expected to be away from the team for the next 7-to-10 days.

Brown needed the procedure to revise a previous left hip replacement that took place 15 years ago.

The 64-year-old Brown, who guided Detroit to the NBA title last spring in his first year with the club, was on the bench Tuesday for the Pistons' season- opening 87-79 victory over Houston.
