Ryan Anderson out at least 2 months, may need season-ending surgery

New Orleans Pelicans forward Ryan Anderson will miss at least two months due to the herniated disc he suffered earlier this month, Anderson said on Monday.

Speaking publicly for the first time since the injury occurred in the fourth quarter against the Boston Celtics on Jan. 3, Anderson said he plans to rest for the next two months before having an MRI to check to see how the C-5 and C-6 in his neck are healing.

If Anderson hasn't healed properly, he said he'd opt to have surgery, which would end his season.
