Why Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's Return is Huge for the Hornets

Craig Mitchelldyer-USA TODAY Sports

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has recently made his return to the court after a shoulder injury he sustained in the preseason kept him sidelined for an extended period of time. The injury, which happened in a preseason game against the Orlando Magic in early October, was supposed to keep MKG out for six months. Take a look at the video below to see the fall that forced Kidd-Gilchrist to get surgery on his shoulder.

Although the initial time table for his recovery was six months, MKG had other plans, set to somehow make his return to the court in just under four months.
