Hornets' Mason Plumlee: Out at least six weeks

Plumlee underwent surgery to address his right groin injury and will be reevaluated in six weeks, the Hornets announced Wednesday.

Plumlee had missed four consecutive games with a strained right groin before going under the knife. The veteran center will be sidelined until at least mid-February. While he's sidelined, PJ Hall will likely step into the third-string center role behind Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) and Moussa Diabate.
