"The doctor said it's a one-inch incision," Howard was quoted as saying by ESPN.com. "He said I can start rehab right away and be back to full contact in four months. So I'm not really concerned. If anything, I'll come back stronger".
Howard's absence will come as a major blow to Orlando's hopes in the playoffs but the center said he believed they could still make progress.
"If the guys come together, we still have a chance," he said. "I know what we have in that locker room. I've seen it in spurts this season. I've told them, 'We don't have to be th e biggest or the strongest, we just have to believe.'"
Howard has missed eight games this season due to his back problems.
The 26-year-old was part of the gold medal winning U.S. Olympics team in Beijing in 2008 and was named to the initial roster for London.
