Power forward (Charlotte Hornets) Cody Zeller missed 19 of the Hornets’ last 20 games with a sore right shoulder. Zeller revealed Thursday he’s been diagnosed with a partially torn rotator cuff and might need arthroscopic surgery.

Zeller said the injury would be re-evaluated in about a week to determine whether a procedure is required.

“It sounds like a very minor procedure,” Zeller said, adding he also has a bone spur and an inflamed bursa sac.
