Charlotte Bobcats guard Gerald Henderson is expected to miss four to six months while recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip.

Surgery was scheduled today in Vail, Col., after a specialist at the Steadman Clinic there discovered the problem. Henderson sought treatment for ongoing pain in his left knee. Doctors concluded his hip issue was affecting his knee.

"Gerald had some knee tendinitis issues this season, and the doctors have told us that fixing this congenital defect in his hip should alleviate those problems," general manager Rod Higgins said in a prepared statement. "The doctors also feel that addressing the hip issue now will help prevent the possibility of further damage in the future."

Dr. Marc Philippon was scheduled to perform the procedure on Henderson today, so that he could start the recovery process immediately. The Bobcats anticipate Henderson being ready for the start of training camp. That would be in early October, assuming an anticipated lockout of players by the NBA doesn’t delay opening camps.

The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the ball-and-socket mechanism of hips and shoulders. According to the Bobcats’ announcement, this injury is a "congenital issue’’ that has caused an impingement.

Henderson had bouts of pain in his knee throughout the season. Despite that, the former Duke star had a breakout the second half of his second NBA season, following the trade of Gerald Wallace to Portland.

Wallace’s departure moved Henderson into the starting lineup at shooting guard (with Stephen Jackson switching to small forward). Henderson thrived late-season, including a 32-point performance against the Orlando Magic April 6.

Coach Paul Silas praised Henderson’s improved jump shot and suggested Henderson spend the off-season making similar improvement in his ballhandling.

Bobcats owner Michael Jordan said at the season’s conclusion that he sees potential in Henderson to be an All-Star sometime in the next three seasons

Not good news, but I guess if you have to be out 4-6 months, no better time to start than the beginning of May. Get better Hendo, we'll need ya.

hopefully he'll come back better than ever. he really did step up this season. I knew he was athletic enough to compete in the NBA coming out of Duke, the only question was his jumper. If he can continue hitting his shots, I really don't care if he improves his ball handling. He'll be fine.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
