Hornets All-Star point guard Chris Paul is out indefinitely with a left knee injury.

Hornets coach Jeff Bower said on Monday that an MRI revealed more damage to the knee than the initial diagnosis of a bruise. The coach refused, however, to confirm reports that Paul had a meniscus tear and would miss at least a month.

Sources close to the situation confirmed to ESPN.com on Sunday that Paul tore cartilage in his left knee and will be forced to undergo arthroscopic surgery.

“We’re in fact-finding stages right now, gathering as much information as possible for decisions to be made to take the next steps,” Bower said. “It is likely there will be a surgical solution for it. We don’t have a timetable [for Paul's return] right now, nor do we know a surgical procedure right now.”

Paul first hurt his left knee in a game at Golden State on Wednesday. He struck the same spot against a camera when he went out of bounds near the end of regulation against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.

He missed the Hornets’ game at Memphis on Saturday.

New Orleans Hornets Coach Byron Scott admits that integrating six new players into his system is going to take more work and patience than he initially planned.

It was obvious in Tuesday’s 121-86 preseason loss to the Orlando Magic that, after numerous breakdowns, the Hornets have plenty of work ahead.

A number of his new players are adjusting. They guarded pick-and-roll plays differently with previous teams than they do now. Some played in systems that had the point guard walking the ball up court instead of pushing the tempo, as Chris Paul does.
