Former Arizona Wildcats forward Solomon Hill has a proximal hamstring tear in his left leg and will be out for approximately six to eight months after undergoing surgery, the New Orleans Pelicans announced Sunday.
Hill suffered the injury during a workout in his hometown of Los Angeles, Calif.
Hill, 26, is entering his second season with the Pelicans after signing a four-year, $48 million deal with the team after the 2015-16 season.
Before that, Hill spent his first three seasons with the Indiana Pacers, who selected him in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft.
