Hornets' Kidd-Gilchrist having surgery; year over

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will have shoulder surgery and miss the rest of the season, a source told ESPN's Chris Broussard on Tuesday.

Kidd-Gilchrist suffered a torn labrum in his surgically repaired right shoulder Feb. 10 and was re-evaluated after the All-Star break.

The diagnosis was revealed by an MRI exam that was scheduled after Kidd-Gilchrist left in the third quarter of the Feb. 10 game with what the team called a dislocated shoulder.

Yahoo! Sports was first to report that Kidd-Gilchrist would miss the rest of the season.

He has been limited to seven games this season since having surgery on the shoulder.
