Huerter out indefinitely with dislocated shoulder, labral tear
Sacramento Kings wing Kevin Huerter was diagnosed with a dislocated left shoulder and torn labrum after imaging, the team announced Thursday, according to James Ham of ESPN 1320.
There is no timeline for his return.
Huerter sustained the injury against the Memphis Grizzlies on March 18. He did not play in Sacramento's 34-point win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday.
Huerter attempted to drive against Desmond Bane early in Monday's first quarter. Bane swiped down on Huerter's left arm as the Kings guard went up with the ball. Huerter was taken to the locker room and did not return.
