Portland Trail Blazers’ wing Nassir Little has opted for surgery to repair his torn left labrum and will miss the remainder of the NBA season, the team announced. Little injured his shoulder in the matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves when he got tangled up with Karl-Anthony Towns.
The surgery will be performed on Tuesday, February 1 by Dr. James Andrews at the Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine in Gulf Breeze, Florida.
Little will miss the remainder of the season.
After the mixup with Towns, Little reacted strongly, though he brushed it off later.
