Brandon Miller underwent surgery to address left shoulder instability.
Miller is out indefinitely, but expected to make a full recovery. He hurt his shoulder early in the season, but managed to play 65 games while wearing a wrap on his shoulder most of the time. Miller led the Hornets with 20.2 points per game this season.
HornetsMiles Bridges produced 15 points (5-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in the loss to the Magic on Friday.
Bridges struggled with his three-point shot in the season-ending loss. However, his success inside the arc and at the charity stripe helped him finish as Charlotte’s second-leading scorer on the evening. Bridges didn’t contribute in many other areas, however, and a bad team performance prevented thi...
Lamelo Ball finished Friday’s loss to the Magic with 23 points (7-of-17 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers.
While Ball shot more efficiently from the field on Friday than he did in Wednesday’s win, the end result was a blowout, season-ending loss. He scored well from beyond the arc and concluded as the only Hornets player to reach the 20-point mark. Additionally, Ball was Charlotte’s only player with more...
Moussa Diabaté is available to play against the Magic on Friday.
Diabaté’s return supplies the Hornets with their starting center, one who brings energy and activity on the glass. He started 47 of 73 games for Charlotte during the regular season and posted 14 rebounds in the first Play-In Tournament win over the Heat. He’ll be on double-double watch vs. the Magic...
Cody TaylorPJ Hall (ankle) has undergone season-ending surgery to address a fractured right ankle.
Hall suffered the injury while playing for the Hornets’ G League affiliate in the first round of the league playoffs. His absence does not affect Charlotte’s frontcourt rotation, but it may affect his availability for summer league play.
Charlotte HornetsGrant Williams (knee) is out for Friday’s matchup with Indiana.
Williams will sit out against the Pacers due to right knee injury management. Sion James and Josh Green could pick up a few extra minutes, but neither of them are worth streaming.
NBA Injury ReportTidjane Salaün (calf) has been ruled out against the 76ers on Thursday.
Salaün has been sidelined for over three weeks, and there is no timeline for when he will return. Regardless, he isn’t going to play much of a role when healthy, so his continued absence won’t alter the Hornets’ rotation.
NBA Injury ReportPat Connaughton (illness) is available for Thursday’s game against the Knicks, and Liam McNeeley (illness) is out.
Neither player’s status affects fantasy basketball, but Connaughton could slide into the back end of the Hornets’ rotation. That was unlikely to be the case for McNeeley.
Charlotte HornetsLiam McNeeley (illness) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Knicks.
McNeeley is a late addition to the Hornets’ injury report. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, as the rookie has been out of the rotation for most of the season.
NBA Injury ReportSion James provided a boost off the bench with 13 points (5-of-8 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers against the Mavericks on Tuesday.
The rookie has been solid all season, but he was able to match his career high for rebounds in this game and score in double figures for the first time since December. James has been an impressive rookie, especially for a second-round pick. However, that hasn’t led to much fantasy production. This w...
Xavier Tillman (not with team) is out for Saturday’s game against the Hawks.
Acquired from the Celtics on Thursday, Tillman has yet to join his new team. Upon arrival, he’ll give the Hornets another option in the frontcourt, but he’s unlikely to get the run needed to affect fantasy basketball.
NBA Injury ReportESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Tosan Evbuomwan has signed a two-way deal with the Hornets.
Charlotte waived KJ Simpson in a subsequent move. Evbuomwan will offer forward depth, but he’s not likely to see enough run to be worth a look in most fantasy leagues.
Shams CharaniaJosh Green (thumb) is probable for Monday’s game against the Pelicans.
Green is dealing with a sprained right thumb, but the probable tag suggests that he’ll be available on Monday. That said, he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball.
NBA Injury ReportTre Mann (illness) is available to play against the Wizards on Saturday.
Mann will be back after missing one game due to an illness. However, he has only played a minimal role in recent weeks, so his return won’t alter the Hornets’ rotation dramatically.
