Plumlee underwent surgery to address his right groin injury and will be reevaluated in six weeks, the Hornets announced Wednesday.
Plumlee had missed four consecutive games with a strained right groin before going under the knife. The veteran center will be sidelined until at least mid-February. While he's sidelined, PJ Hall will likely step into the third-string center role behind Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) and Moussa Diabate.
