Noah Vonleh underwent successful surgery on Tuesday to repair a sports hernia suffered in a recent workout.

Vonleh is expected to miss approximately six to eight weeks.

The ninth overall pick by the Charlotte Hornets in the 2014 NBA Draft, Vonleh was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and Third Team All-Big Ten in 2013-14 at Indiana University after averaging 11.3 points, a Big Ten-high 9.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 26.5 minutes per game.
