Liddell (knee) underwent surgery on his torn right ACL on Monday, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

What it means

Liddell remains without a timetable to rejoin the action, but he's likely destined to miss most, if not all of the 2022-23 campaign. He suffered the injury during Summer League action after being selected 41st overall by New Orleans in the 2022 NBA Draft.
