Charlotte Bobcats forward Adam Morrison suffered a left knee sprain with 5:23 left in the third quarter of Saturday's preseason contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. X-rays taken immediately following the game came back negative.
Today’s 9 a.m. MRI showed however, a partial to complete tear of the ACL, and Morrison could potentially face season-ending surgery.
He will fly back with team on Monday morning, where he will be further evaluated by Dr. Glenn Perry, the Bobcats team physician.
Morrison averaged 11.7 points on 46.4 percent shooting from the field and 36.4 percent from three-point range, while adding 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.67 steals in six preseason games for Charlotte this season.
Bad news for the young Cat, after a lacklustre rookie campaign I was really hoping he'd begin to hit his strides this year. Of course, the Richardson trade would've cut into his minutes, but he still could have been a solid impact player if he'd started to get his shot to fall.
