Hornets' Josh Green: Won't play vs. Orlando
Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Green is dealing with a shoulder injury, which will keep him sidelined. The next chance for him to make his season debut will be Saturday against the Timberwolves.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Won't play vs. Orlando
Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Miller will miss a third straight game due to a shoulder injury. He suffered the injury during the loss to the 76ers on Saturday. The team will likely turn to Kon Knueppel, Tre Mann and Tidjane Salaun in the meantime.

Hornets' Grant Williams: To remain out Thursday
Williams (knee) is out for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Williams remains in the recovery phase of last year's right knee surgery. Saturday's clash with the Timberwolves marks his next chance to play. Tidjane Salaun has a clearer path to minutes in the Charlotte frontcourt in the interim.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Strong line despite loss
Sexton contributed 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 144-117 loss to Miami.
With Brandon Miller (shoulder) sidelined for at least the immediate future, coach Charles Lee is likely to lean on Sexton for his leadership and ball-handling abilities. The veteran is off to a great start in Charlotte, posting averages of 18.5 points, 4.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers through four regular-season contests.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Sees limited run
McNeeley amassed six points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and one rebound in 11 minutes during Tuesday's 144-117 loss to Miami.
McNeeley made just his second appearance of the regular season Tuesday, as he's currently a fringe rotation player for Charlotte. He is capable of playing multiple rotation spots, and coach Charles Lee is reportedly a big fan, so the rookie's role could grow as the season progresses.

Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Tallies three steals
Kalkbrenner posted 10 points (5-5 FT), six rebounds, three steals and one block in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 144-117 loss to the Heat.
Kalkbrenner went a perfect 5-for-5 from the field on the way to his third double-digit scoring performance of his young NBA career. It was a promising sign to see the rookie bounce back after he was held to four points Sunday against Washington. Kalkbrenner was also productive on the defensive end by racking up a season-high three steals, clearly playing at a level above Moussa Diabate, who has been hot on his heels for the starting center spot.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Lets it fly in blowout loss
Ball recorded 20 points (6-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 144-117 loss to Miami.
Ball led the Hornets in points, rebounds and assists on the way to a near triple-double. He didn't post his best shooting performance by any means but still managed to reach the 20-point threshold given his volume of attempts. Ball continues to be one of the focal points of Charlotte's offense, and he's scored 20 or more points in each of his first four matchups of the 2025-26 season.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Does damage from deep in loss
Knueppel posted 19 points (7-15 FG, 5-11 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 144-117 loss to the Heat.
Knueppel was dangerous from beyond the arc yet again Tuesday, where he tallied 15 of his 19 points. He's hit three or more triples in each of his first four NBA appearances, averaging 16.0 points along the way. Knueppel should continue to see plenty of opportunities while Brandon Miller recovers from a shoulder injury.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Available vs. Miami
Mann (jaw) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Heat.
Mann has been dealing with a jaw contusion, which was presumably suffered in Sunday's game against the Wizards. However, it won't keep him off the floor.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Ruled out for Tuesday
Williams (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Williams underwent knee surgery back in December, but the Hornets have not yet offered a timetable for his return. Considering we haven't had any positive updates recently, he should be considered doubtful for Thursday's home game against the Magic.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Iffy for Tuesday
Mann is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat due to a jaw contusion.
Mann presumably sustained the jaw contusion in Sunday's win over the Wizards, during which he exited to the locker room following a collision with an opposing player. However, he managed to return, posting zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 12 minutes. If the 24-year-old guard joins Brandon Miller (shoulder) on the sideline, Sion James, Kon Knueppel and Collin Sexton are candidates for increased playing time, while Pat Connaughton could enter the rotation.

Hornets' Josh Green: Won't play Tuesday
Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Green has yet to appear this season while continuing to recover from left shoulder surgery in June. There's still no clear timetable for his return, but the wing's next opportunity to make his season debut will come Thursday against the Magic.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Diagnosed with shoulder subluxation
Miller has been diagnosed with a left shoulder subluxation, and he will not play Tuesday in Miami.
Miller will be re-evaluated when the team returns from their road trip, so we should get another update by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. Kon Knueppel should continue to start in Miller's absence, so he's worth a look if you need some points and triples.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Fills stat sheet in win
Salaun ended Sunday's 139-113 win over Washington with four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3 Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block across 16 minutes.
Salaun is taking advantage of his extended playing time while Grant Williams (knee) is out, and Sunday marked his first all-around performance of the season. If the second-year forward continues to post stat lines like these, it may be hard for head coach Charles Lee to take him out of the rotation once Williams returns.

Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Lackluster performance in win
Kalkbrenner posted four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds and an assist across 22 minutes in Sunday's 139-113 win over the Wizards.
Kalkbrenner was outperformed by fellow big man Moussa Diabate, who is also competing for minutes and the starting role. While the rookie has certainly been efficient shooting the ball (14-for-16 from the field over his first three games), not getting to the free-throw line and shooting three-pointers are certainly hurting his value. It is possible Kalkbrenner may have been a victim of game script, as the Hornets built a massive lead that resulted in benches being cleared, but if he wants to retain his starting role and minutes, he has to perform better.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Logs first double-double of season
Diabate put up 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and an assist across 23 minutes in Sunday's 139-113 win over Washington.
Diabate has been one of the more important players among the bench unit, as he and rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner continue to compete for minutes and potentially the starting job. If Diabate can continue to post performances like he did Sunday, he may be able to crack the starting lineup in the foreseeable future.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Nets 20 points in win
Bridges notched 20 points (6-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 139-113 victory over the Wizards.
Bridges was lights out from distance in his first two games of the season, but the 34.0 percent career three-point shooter saw a reversion to the mean Sunday evening, as he bricked six of his seven attempts from deep. Still, while his shot wasn't falling, he was able to get some easy points at the line, helping him to a solid fantasy performance overall.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Scores 20 points with five treys
Knueppel produced 20 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and two turnovers in 35 minutes during Sunday's 139-113 win over Washington.
The rookie has gotten his career off to an impressive start, registering averages of 15.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 3.7 triples per contest on 55.2 percent shooting from the floor. He should continue to start as long as Brandon Miller (shoulder) is out, and he's proven to be a solid source of scoring and three-pointers over this season's small sample.
