Michael Kidd-Gilchrist suffers dislocated right shoulder vs. Pacers
Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was playing in just his seventh game of the season Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers after recovering from surgery on his right shoulder.
In an unfortunate turn of events, the 22-year-old Kentucky product was forced to leave the game after falling to the deck on a drive to the basket.
The team later revealed that Kidd-Gilchrist had suffered a dislocated right shoulder on the play, and that he would not return.
