NEW YORK (Reuters) - Cleveland Cavaliers guard Larry Hughes underwent a second operation on his broken right middle finger on Tuesday and will likely miss the rest of the regular season, the National Basketball Association team said.
Hughes initially had surgery on January 6. and the injury was originally expected to keep him out of action for six to eight weeks.
"He could possibly be back and participate in the post-season," Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry told reporters, adding that Hughes would need extra time to ensure the finger healed properly.
Hughes has missed nearly 100 games due to injury over the past five seasons.
He signed a five-year, $60 million contract in the off-season. Hughes averages 16.2 points and 3.9 assists in the 28 games he has played this year.
