Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after undergoing successful surgery on the third metacarpal of his right hand Thursday afternoon.
Zeller suffered the injury on Monday. His absence should continue to lead to more opportunity down low for Willy Hernangomez.
Zeller is averaging 23.5 FanDuel points per game this season, with 9.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.8 blocks.
