Los Angeles (AFP) - Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is likely to be sidelined for some time after an MRI revealed he has a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
The NBA team announced the diagnosis on Monday, two days after Kidd-Gilchrist was hurt in an NBA pre-season game against the Orlando Magic.
Team officials did not say whether Kidd-Gilchrist would require surgery, nor did they offer a timeline for his return.
The 22-year-old player is scheduled to visit Hornets team orthopedist Marcus Cook on Tuesday to determine the next steps for the recovery and rehabilitation of his shoulder.
