Coach Steve Clifford said Zeller (shoulder) will likely require offseason surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

Zeller missed the final 15 games of the season with a sprained right shoulder, which never seemed to show much improvement. He'll continue to be evaluated by team doctors, and if surgery is necessary Zeller could miss a chunk of time this offseason.
