Meyers Leonard to undergo shoulder surgery, will miss remainder of 2015-16 season

The most recent Illini to have reached the NBA ranks will unfortunately be sidelined for the rest of the 2015-16 season. On Thursday night, the Portland Trailblazers announced that forward Meyers Leonard requires surgery to repair a dislocated left shoulder.

Leonard has missed Portland's last five games after suffering the injury during practice on March 16. The Blazers have yet to announce a prognosis on his return to the court, but they'll presumably make an update after the procedure takes place on April 8.
