Surgery completed Little underwent surgery Tuesday to repair the torn labrum in his left shoulder.
Impact Little will miss the remainder of the 2021-22 season as a result of the procedure, but he's expected to make a full recovery in advance of training camp for the 2022-23 campaign. In the four games since he exited the lineup with the shoulder injury, Norman Powell has returned from an extended absence due to COVID-19 protocols and a personal matter to replace Little in the starting five.

Will undergo season-ending surgery The Trail Blazers announced Monday that Little will undergo season-ending surgery to repair the torn labrum in his left shoulder.
Impact The injury couldn't have come at a worse time for the third-year pro, who was in the midst of his best statistical season. Little finishes the 2021-22 campaign averaging 9.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game -- all career highs. His absence should open up more opportunities for CJ Elleby and Tony Snell, while Norman Powell will likely be solidified as a starter on the wing alongside guards CJ McCollum and Anfernee Simons.

Won't play Wednesday Little has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to a left shoulder strain, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Little had been productive across his last two appearances, as he averaged 19.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in 34.0 minutes per contest during that time. However, he's now dealing with a left shoulder injury that will prevent him from suiting up in the second half of a back-to-back set. Tony Snell and Ben McLemore should handle additional work against Dallas.

Scores team-high despite injury Little (shoulder) provided 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 109-107 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Little sustained a shoulder injury in the third quarter but returned for four minutes in the final stanza. He put up a few errant shots in the final frame, so the shoulder injury may have played a role in his ineffectiveness. Before his brief absence, Little started out hot with an eight-point performance in the first quarter.
