OKLAHOMA CITY -- New Orleans guard Peja Stojakovic had a disc fragment removed from his lower back Sunday, a move the Hornets hope will help speed the three-time All-Star's return to the lineup.
The Hornets, who also announced that forward David West will have surgery on a bothersome right elbow, provided no timetable for Stojakovic's return. He has missed nine games already, with what initially was diagnosed as back spasms.
West has missed 15 games since straining his right forearm Nov. 10 against Portland, and New Orleans also has been without top reserve Bobby Jackson with a cracked rib.
"We will evaluate Peja and David once they have recovered from their surgeries before we make a determination on their status," Hornets general manager Jeff Bower said. "Although our team has been slowed by injuries as of late, we don't want to rush their returns to the detriment of their health."
Stojakovic was averaging 17.8 points and shooting 41 percent from 3-point range as the Hornets jumped out to a strong start. He had a career-high 42 points in a win against Charlotte and hit the game-winning 3-pointer in a victory at Minnesota.
West, the team's top scorer last season, averaged 17.4 points and 8.3 rebounds in New Orleans' first seven games.
The Hornets started the season 8-3, but have lost nine of their last 11 as injuries have piled up.
Wow, New Orleans is losing all there main ball players, sucks. Stojakovic was having such a solid season and doing well with New Orleans and know he is out and it's not good. Surprising how important he was. David West joining him doesn't help them out either. He wad dominating each game and helping them win. Both men out makes down low very weak for new orleans. Hopefully both men can come back and have quick recoveries.
Yea This hurts them and me as David West is on my fantasy team and I can't cut him do to our christmas lock, him being gone is really killing me and to think I almost got Peja too, hopefully the two can be back ASAP, but with surgery it still may be a while...
