Milwaukee Bucks point guard and former Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams will be out for the remainder of the 2015-16 season after undergoing surgery on his left hip.
From the official announcement:
Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams will undergo season-ending surgery on Thursday (Mar. 10) to repair the torn labrum in his left hip, General Manager John Hammond announced today. Surgery will be performed by Dr. Marc Philippon at The Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado. Recovery time for Carter-Williams is expected to be three months.
This is the second season in Milwaukee for Carter-Williams, who was acquired by the Bucks from the Philadelphia 76ers last year in a 3-way trade. The Bucks sent Brandon Knight to the Phoenix Suns as part of the trade.
This year for the Bucks, Carter-Williams has averaged career lows in minutes per game(30.5), points per game(11.5), assists per game(5.2), and rebounds per game(5.1).
With Carter-Williams out, the Bucks will have O.J. Mayo, Jerryd Bayless, and Tyler Ennis left as options at the point guard spot(add Greivis Vasquez to that list once he returns from injury).
