Michael Kidd-Gilchrist having shoulder surgery and will miss rest of NBA season

The worst fears of the Charlotte Hornets and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist have been realized.

According to Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, MKG will miss the rest of the season due to a torn labrum suffered for the second time in less than a year on the same shoulder.

After suffering another torn labrum, Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will undergo shoulder surgery and will miss the remainder of the season, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Kidd-Gilchrist re-injured the shoulder Feb. 10 in a win over the Indiana Pacers after aggressively rehabbing from October shoulder surgery to return much sooner than expected.
