Webster had surgery to repair a herniated disk in his lower back on Friday and is now expected to miss three-to-five months before resuming basketball activities, CSN Washington reports.

Analysis:

Webster has now undergone three disk surgeries dating back to 2010 and each procedure has forced him to miss multiple months while recovering. The latest operation figures to keep Webster out until at least midseason, representing a big hit in his fantasy stock as well as in the Wizards' wing rotation. The news figures to factor into negotiations with free agent Trevor Ariza this summer, potentially giving him more leverage to seek a big deal.
