Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller has undergone surgery on the fourth metacarpal of his left hand.
The 7-footer suffered the fractured left hand in the fourth quarter of yesterday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He will be listed as out and will be reevaluated in four weeks.
Last season, Zeller averaged career-highs in points (11.1) and rebounds (7.1) per game over the course of 58 games played.
Now in his eighth year out of Indiana, Zeller holds career averages with the Hornets of 8.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 22.9 minutes per game over the course of 420 career appearances (253 starts).
