Cavs guard Larry Hughes had surgery on his broken right middle finger for the second time in six weeks, and will likely miss the rest of the regular season.

“If all goes well for him and all goes well for our team … he could possibly be back and participate in the postseason,” Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said.

The Cavs have high hopes for Hughes, whom they signed to a five-year, $60 million contract in the offseason. They reportedly chose Hughes over Michael Redd, who flirted with Cleveland for a few days before resigning with the Milwaukee Bucks.
