Haywood Injury Update
October 10, 2013
The Charlotte Bobcats announced today that center Brendan Haywood is expected to miss at least 12 weeks after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left foot that will require surgery.
An MRI and CT scan yesterday ordered by foot specialist Dr. Bob Anderson revealed the stress fracture in the navicular bone. Haywood will undergo surgery to place two screws in the bone to reinforce the stress fracture and help it to heal. Following 12 weeks of immobilization, he will undergo a follow-up CT scan to determine his return to normal activities.
In other Cats news, Higgins also announced today that the team has waived guards Troy Daniels and Abdul Gaddy. The Bobcats roster now stands at 16 players.
