Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Ruled out with illness
McNeeley (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
It'll be a fourth game in a row in street clothes for McNeeley, whose next chance to return comes Saturday against the Clippers. In his absence Wednesday, it's possible Pat Connaughton will play a more significant role.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Ruled out for Monday
McNeeley (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.
McNeeley will miss his third consecutive game due to illness. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Pacers. With the rookie joining Brandon Miller (shoulder), Grant Williams (knee) and Josh Green (shoulder) on the sidelines, Kon Knueppel, Sion James and Pat Connaughton are candidates for increased minutes, while Drew Peterson could enter the rotation.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Another absence coming
McNeeley (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
The rookie will miss his second game in a row Saturday, but he remains day-to-day. McNeeley has averaged 12.5 minutes per game across nine regular-season appearances so far.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Won't play Friday
McNeely (illness) won't suit up for Friday's game in Milwaukee, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
McNeely's absence could result in a marginal uptick in minutes for Pat Connaughton, but it won't dramatically impact the Hornets' rotations. McNeely's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Thunder.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Questionable to face Milwaukee
McNeeley (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks.
McNeeley is under the weather and could miss the front end of the Hornets' back-to-back set. If the rookie forward is ultimately ruled out, Pat Connaughton will likely see a slight bump in minutes.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Modest outing in win
McNeeley contributed five points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 111-100 victory over the Bucks.
McNeeley continues to back up Miles Bridges but has not been effective shooting the ball, averaging 5.5 points on just 27.8 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from three in his last four games. Grant Williams (knee) has yet to make his season debut, and there is no timetable for his return, so McNeeley should continue to see the court with the second unit in the meantime.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Plays 13 minutes in loss
McNeeley accumulated two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 loss to New Orleans.
McNeeley was not a factor in Charlotte's rotation early, logging two DNPs to start the season, but he's slowly being factored in, as he has seen the court for at least nine minutes in each of the past five games. With Grant Williams (knee) sidelined, McNeeley should continue to play some minutes off the bench backing up Miles Bridges, but the rookie's role is uncertain once Williams returns.

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' Liam McNeeley: Headed to bench
McNeeley will come off the bench in Wednesday's season opener against the Nets.
McNeeley received a spot start in Friday's preseason finale with some key guys resting, but he'll begin the season in a reserve role. He's not expected to be a significant part of the rotation.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Scores 11 in spot start
McNeeley recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 113-108 preseason loss to the Knicks.
McNeeley drew a rare start in Charlotte's preseason finale with the team electing to rest a good chunk of the usual starters. He wasn't able to find his groove from beyond the arc but still scored in double figures, primarily by connecting on his shots in the paint. McNeeley isn't expected to have much of a role in the rotation when the regular season begins Wednesday against the Nets.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Starting Friday
McNeeley will start in Friday's preseason game against the Knicks.
Brandon Miller (wrist), LaMelo Ball (knee) and Tre Mann (hip) are sitting out Friday's preseason finale, so McNeeley will draw the start and he'll be joined by Collin Sexton, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate. Through four preseason games, McNeeley has averaged 5.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game.

McNeely (Achilles) was removed from the Hornets' injury report Saturday.

McNeeley (Achilles) is out for Sunday's Summer League finale against the Kings.
McNeeley will miss a fourth straight game to close Summer League due to right Achilles tendinitis. McNeeley had a productive stint in Las Vegas before being shut down due to injury, averaging 18.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 29.0 minutes per game over two appearances.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Ruled out Monday
McNeeley has been ruled out for Monday's Summer League game against Dallas due to right Achilles tendinopathy.
McNeeley will miss his first Summer League game due to an Achilles issue. He appeared in both games of the club's back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, averaging 18.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 29.0 minutes per game. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Spurs.

Hornets' Liam McNeeley: Lights it up in SL debut
McNeeley generated 22 points (7-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds and six assists over 28 minutes of Friday's 111-105 win over the Jazz in Summer League.
McNeeley was revered for his three-point shooting during the pre-draft process, but he flashed his all-around game Friday and led the Hornets in points, rebounds and assists during the win. McNeeley will have to compete with players like Josh Green and Josh Okogie for bench minutes on the wing, but if Friday's performance is any indication, Charlotte will have a tough time keeping McNeeley off the floor.
