The Charlotte Hornets have announced that “Miles Plumlee underwent a successful arthroscopic debridement on his right knee.” The typical recovery period for the surgery is 6-8 weeks. Luckily for the team and Plumlee, he will have the entire summer to rehab as he prepares for next season.
Miles started the 2016-17 season with the Milwaukee Bucks. Charlotte acquired the big man in a February trade that involved Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes being dealt away from the Hornets. The questionable deal immediately made Plumlee the team’s backup center.
