Hornets center Cody Zeller had arthroscopic surgery in his left knee today. The team didn’t estimate a return date for him, so for now he’ll be listed as Out Indefinitely.
The injury occurred in the third quarter in the team’s December 6 game against the Warriors.
Zeller this season is averaging 7.2 points and 5.5 rebounds in 19.9 minutes per game.
Overall during his 298 games with Charlotte, Zeller has averaged 8.0 points and 5.6 rebounds per outing.
The Hornets are just 10-16 this season, which is the 13th best record in the Eastern conference. They were expected to be better than this.
The team is led in scoring by Kemba Walker (22.5 ppg), Dwight Howard (16.0 ppg), Jeremy Lamb (14.8), Frank Kaminsky (10.5 ppg) and Nicolas Batum (10.1 ppg).
The Hornets play the Rockets in Houston Wednesday night.
