Milwaukee Bucks forward David Noel underwent an examination of his injured right wrist under anesthesia this afternoon, General Manager Larry Harris announced today. The diagnostic arthroscopy confirmed a right wrist sprain.

Noel will be out of action for at least 4-6 weeks, after which time he will be re-evaluated.

Dr. Donald Bynum performed the procedure at University of North Carolina Orthopedics in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Noel originally sustained the injury during a workout in Cleveland on November 20. He has been inactive for all 17 of Milwaukee’s games this season.
