CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Bobcats forward Eduardo Najera has had surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee and will miss 6-8 weeks.
The team said Friday the injury was discovered during an MRI earlier in the week.

The surgery was performed Friday by Bobcats team physician Dr. Glenn Perry.
The Bobcats open the regular season Dec. 26 at home against Washington.
