The Zalgiris Kaunas forward is suffering from a herniated disk in his lower back that even causes his legs to feel numb at times, Rokas Pakenas from 15min.lt reports.

It was initially hoped to avoid a surgical procedure but the lumbar medial branch block did not improve Cavanaugh's condition. If the player decides to undergo surgery, he will be sidelined for 6 to 9 months, Pakenas writes.

The decision should be known in the upcoming days.

Cavanaugh has been averaging 5.9 points and 4.3 rebounds for 6 PIR in the EuroLeague for the Lithuanian club this season.
