New Zealander Sean Marks will miss the remainder of the
National Basketball Association season for the New Orleans
Hornets after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder.
Marks' surgery was pronounced a success and he will begin
rehabilitation immediately with an eye on next season, the
Hornets' website reported.
Niggles have reduced Marks' season to his fourth quietest in
10 years in the NBA. He played just 75 minutes in 14 games,
compared to his career-high 60 games last season. This year's
output was just 10 points and 23 rebounds.
The 34-year-old has now completed two-season stints with five
different NBA teams -- Toronto, Miami, San Antonio, Phoenix
and New Orleans.
The injury- depleted Hornets have 13 games remaining and
trail Portland by seven games for the eighth spot in the
Western Conference standings, leaving them with little hope
of repeating their 2008/09 foray into the post-season.
