CHARLOTTE, NC (WCCB Charlotte) — According to a report, Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will miss the remainder of the season with a torn labrum.
A Yahoo Sports NBA writer tweeted:
“Sources: After suffering another torn labrum, Charlotte’s Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will undergo shoulder surgery. He will miss rest of season.”
