Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s return to the Hornets was short-lived.

The Hornets announced Thursday that the fourth-year guard suffered a torn labrum as a result of dislocating his right shoulder in Wednesday’s 117-95 win over the Pacers — just his seventh game back after missing the first 46 games of the season with the same injury suffered in the preseason.

 

There is no timetable for Kidd-Gilchrist’s return. He will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break.

The former No. 2 overall pick out of Kentucky averaged 12.7 points and 6.4 rebounds the six-plus games he lasted this season.
