Milwaukee Bucks big man John Henson will be out for a while. After sustaining a wrist injury November 6th against the Trail Blazers and playing through it, an MRI determined it to be worst than expected. Henson has a torn ligament in his wrist and will require surgery, according to an official press release. He will have an updated timeline following the surgery.
Shams Charania of The Athletic apparently already has a timeline, and it is not a good one.
Sources on @TheAthleticNBA @WatchStadium: Milwaukee center John Henson's expected timetable is a minimum of 12 weeks with torn ligament in left wrist — likely post All-Star break. Henson plans to return this season.

Henson carved out a role on the tough Bucks as the backup center to Brook Lopez. That playing time will likely go to Thon Maker, who has not seen considerable court time this season.
John Henson has per-game averages of 5.6 points and 5.1 rebounds. He is in the midst of a lucrative four-year $44 million contract he signed with Milwaukee back in 2015.
