After recently being seen on the sidelines with a cast in the wake of exiting from last Wednesday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks with a sore right wrist, T.J. McConnell has undergone surgery to repair torn ligaments in his right hand and is expected to miss several months, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Last week, when Rick Carlisle provided information on the injury, the only a vague timeline was offered, suggesting he would be out ‘a while,’ before later adding ‘weeks, not days.’
Now, according to Wojnarowski, there’s a chance the plucky guard, who the Pacers signed to a four-year, $35 million deal over the summer, could be lost for the season.
