Raja Bell could miss the remainder of the season after electing to undergo wrist surgery.

The Warriors acquired Bell from the Bobcats in a trade involving Stephen Jackson on Monday.

He'll miss four or five weeks if his wrist is in good shape and the remainder of the year if screws are needed for repair.

"I'm going into it, assuming it will be a big surgery," Bell told the San Francisco Chronicle. "If I wake up and it's not, it's icing on the cake. I'm prepared for the worst-case scenario, and I'll go from there."

He had been trying to play through the injury.
