Kings first-round draft pick Devin Carter underwent left shoulder surgery Thursday to repair a torn labrum and will miss at least six months.
The team announced in a statement that the next medical update on Carter, the No. 13 overall draft pick, will come in January -- six months from now.
That means Carter will miss most of the first three months of the 2024-25 NBA season, which is set to tip off in late October.

Carter earlier on Thursday shared a post-surgery photo of himself, as well as a reassuring message to Kings fans.
Per the Kings, the surgery was performed by Dr. Harlan Selesnick at Baptist Health Doctors Hospital in Coral Gables, Florida, close to Carter's hometown of West Palm Beach.
