Milwaukee Bucks center John Henson is one step closer to getting back to lofting up hook shots, blocking shots and throwing down lobs after having surgery on his left wrist Tuesday.

Henson, who injured the wrist in a game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Nov. 6, underwent successful surgery to repair a torn ligament. According to a team statement, orthopedic surgeon Michelle Carlson performed the surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York under the supervision of Bucks team physician William Raasch.

The timeline for Henson's return is not yet clear, though he could reasonably be out until the all-star break or beyond as he goes through the healing process. The Bucks did not provide an official update regarding the veteran center's return schedule.
