Najera has surgery, expected to miss season

More News
Charlotte Bobcats forward Eduardo Najera had successful surgery Saturday afternoon to repair the fractured frontal bone in his forehead and is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Najera was injured late in the second quarter of Friday's game at Milwaukee by an inadvertent elbow from Bucks forward Jon Brockman.
He was taken to the hospital, where a CT scan ruled out brain trauma but confirmed the fracture. Najera was later released and flew back to Charlotte with the team, having surgery Saturday at Presbyterian Hospital.
The veteran forward averaged 2.6 points in 22 games this season.
