Source: Hornets' Michael Kidd-Gilchrist likely to miss season because of shoulder surgery

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will undergo shoulder surgery and likely miss the entire season, a league source told Yahoo Sports.

Kidd-Gilchrist is expected to miss six months with the injury, which wouldn't allow for a possible return until the final weeks of the season in April. It leaves little hope that Kidd-Gilchrist can return to the lineup this season.

For the Hornets and coach Steve Clifford, the loss of Kidd-Gilchrist is a significant blow to a revamped roster with a real hope of returning to the playoffs. Kidd-Gilchrist is the Hornets’ best perimeter defender and a developing offensive player.
