10 Michael Carter-Williams PG

Carter-Williams has been diagnosed with a posterior labral tear in his left shoulder and will undergo surgery to address the issue. He will miss the remainder of the season.

Carter-Williams suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Raptors, but continued playing. It ended up being more serious than expected, however, as he missed the following two games and has since been diagnosed with a tear, requiring surgery. He'll finish the year averaging just 4.6 points, 2.7 boards and 2.2 steals in 16.1 minutes per game while serving as Kemba Walker's backup. He also shot a career-low 33.2 percent from the field. At this point, it's not entirely clear that another team will take a chance on Carter-Williams. In the immediate future for the Hornets, Malik Monk should continue serving as the team's new backup to Walker.

Carter-Williams (shoulder) will determine a timetable for a return after a decision is made on whether he will pursue surgery or address his injury via rehabilitation.

Carter-Williams' left shoulder sprain is apparently fairly serious, as he may need surgery to address the issue. Until he makes a decision, however, he'll be out indefinitely. In the meantime, other guards on the roster such as Malik Monk, Julyan Stone and Marcus Paige could all see extra run.

Carter-Williams has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to a left shoulder sprain.

While Carter-Williams was able to return to Sunday's contest after injuring his shoulder in the first half, the Hornets will exercise caution with him Tuesday after he was officially diagnosed with a shoulder sprain. Without Carter-Williams, the Hornets don't have a true backup point guard on the roster, which could result in Kemba Walker just shouldering a heavier minutes load with Jeremy Lamb and Treveon Graham potentially seeing more backcourt minutes.

Carter-Williams (shoulder) returned to Sunday's game against the Raptors, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Carter-Williams has elected to play through the injury and will likely play through the first half of the fourth quarter until Charlotte elects to bring All-Star Kemba Walker back into the game to close things out at point guard.

Carter-Williams left Sunday's game against the Raptors with a sprained left shoulder and is questionable to return.

Without Carter-Williams, the Hornets would lack a true backup point guard in Kemba Walker, and while Walker would usually shoulder majority of the floor leading role for the second half, Treveon Graham will likely operate as the primary backup should Carter-Williams not return to Sunday's game and Walker need a rest.
