Overview
- The team said he had surgery to address instability in his left shoulder and expects a full recovery.
- Charlotte ruled him out indefinitely and did not say whether he will be ready for the 2026–27 season.
- The issue stems from a left shoulder subluxation, a partial dislocation that sidelined him for 13 straight games early in the year.
- Despite the shoulder trouble, he started 65 games and averaged 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists on 43.5% shooting with 38.3% from three.
- The Hornets went 41–24 when he played and 3–14 without him, a swing that could factor into rookie extension talks this summer.
