Hornets' Grant Williams: Out for Monday
Williams (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Williams has yet to appear in a game this season due to a right hamstring strain. His next opportunity to suit up comes Thursday against the Suns.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Out at least four weeks
Knueppel (hamstring) was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain Sunday and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
Knueppel missed the first eight games of the 2026-27 campaign. He returned for the 114-104 loss to Brooklyn on Wednesday, though he exited the contest after just six minutes of work and didn't return. With Knueppel out of commission for at least a month, Grayson Allen and Sion James are candidates to replace him in the starting lineup, especially with Dennis Schroder (hamstring) sidelined for a minimum of two weeks.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Iffy for Monday
Diabate (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Diabate could miss a second straight game due to a right quad injury. If he is unavailable, Ryan Kalkbrenner could see extra minutes.

Hornets' Dennis Schroder: Diagnosed with hamstring strain
Schroder has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain and will be reevaluated in two weeks, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.
Schroder, who missed Friday's game due to what was described as a left thigh injury, has been diagnosed with a hamstring strain. He is set to be reevaluated in two weeks, suggesting he will miss at least the next five games. Christian Anderson and Sion James could see extra minutes with Schroder sidelined.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Ruled out Monday
Miller (groin) is listed as out for Monday's game against Cleveland.
Miller suffered a groin injury in Friday's 119-80 loss to the Celtics and didn't return. More information on his condition is expected to be released by Monday. For now, Tidjane Salaun and Sion James are candidates to replace Miller in the starting lineup versus the Cavaliers.

Hornets' Hannes Steinbach: Grabs 11 rebounds with three blocks
Steinbach notched four points (2-5 FG), 11 rebounds, an assist and three blocks across 27 minutes in Friday's 119-80 loss to the Celtics.
Steinbach made a significant impact on the glass and defensively, leading Charlotte with 11 rebounds while recording a game-high three blocks. His offensive involvement remained minimal, but his 27-minute workload provided ample opportunities to accumulate valuable defensive stats. Steinbach's rebounding and rim protection offer intriguing fantasy potential, particularly in category formats, although his limited scoring remains a concern.

Hornets' Sion James: Scores in double digits again
James delivered 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and three rebounds across 21 minutes in Friday's 119-80 loss to the Celtics.
James provided Charlotte with efficient perimeter scoring, but he didn't do much else. The former Duke standout has some upside in deeper leagues due to his scoring prowess, but his limited playing time and absence of contributions in other categories limit his upside across the board. At least his scoring numbers are trending in the right direction, as James has scored in double digits in his last three appearances.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Scores season-high 13 points
Salaun finished with 13 points (3-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and four rebounds across 23 minutes in Friday's 119-80 loss to the Celtics.
Salaun struggled with his shooting, particularly from beyond the arc, but his five made free throws helped him reach his best scoring output of the campaign. Salaun remains a speculative option in deeper formats, with his value largely dependent on scoring efficiency and consistent playing time. With just 6.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per game this season, his fantasy potential is limited in most formats.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Will be re-evaluated over the weekend
Head coach Charles Lee said Miller (groin) will be re-evaluated over the weekend, and they expect to have more information by Monday, Steve Reed of The Associated Press reports.
Lee downplayed the groin issue after the game, saying he didn't see exactly when the injury occurred but noticed Miller started limping, and he asked for a sub after a couple of plays. He was ruled out after heading back to the locker room, and Tidjane Salaun started the second half for him. If Miller needs to miss additional time, Coby White and Naz Reid would be asked to step it up on offense, and there would be more minutes available for Salaun and Sion James.

Hornets' Naz Reid: Scores 14 points with six rebounds
Reid registered 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and two turnovers across 26 minutes in Friday's 119-80 loss to the Celtics.
The Hornets were dominated from start to finish, resulting in Reid watching most of the fourth quarter from the sidelines. He was the only Charlotte starter to reach double figures, but he didn't do it efficiently, converting just 35.3 percent of his shot attempts. Reid has been hit-or-miss this season, averaging 16.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.3 triples per game on 41.6 percent shooting from the field and 65.2 percent at the line. Those numbers have him ranked outside the top 150 in fantasy leagues.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Won't return Friday
Miller (groin) won't return to Friday's game against the Celtics, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Miller exited the court halfway through the second quarter. He was initially listed as questionable to return, though he has since been ruled out due to right groin soreness. With Miller off the floor, Sion James should see more minutes the rest of the way.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Heads to locker room
Miller (undisclosed) exited Friday's game against the Celtics, Owen O'Connor of SI.com reports.
It's unclear exactly what is bothering Miller, though it made him leave the floor halfway through the second quarter. He should be considered questionable to return. In the meantime, Sion James should see more minutes.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Starting versus Boston
Allen will start in Friday's game against the Celtics
With Kon Knueppel (hamstring) and Dennis Schroder (thigh) ruled out, Allen will make his first start of the 2026-27 campaign. In 27 regular-season starts with the Suns in 2025-26, the 31-year-old averaged 17.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.4 steals over 31.0 minutes per contest.

Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Starting sans Diabate
Kalkbrenner is starting Friday's game against Boston.
Kalkbrenner is getting a spot start at center for the injured Moussa Diabate (quadriceps) on Friday. He makes sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option in the short term.

Hornets' Dennis Schroder: Ruled out Friday
Schroder (thigh) is out for Friday's game versus Boston.
Schroder is sitting out Friday for the first time this season due to left thigh soreness. With the veteran floor general sidelined, Coby White should see his minutes climb into the 20s for the first time this year as he works back from a preseason calf strain.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Ruled out for Friday
Diabate (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston, according to the Hornets' official injury report.
Diabate's absence will leave Charlotte shorthanded in the frontcourt against the Celtics. Ryan Kalkbrenner could see additional opportunities at center, while other available big men may also absorb minutes. Diabate's next opportunity to play will come Monday against Cleveland.

Hornets' Hannes Steinbach: Available for Friday
The Hornets recalled Steinbach from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Friday.
Additionally, the Hornets listed the rookie center as available to play Friday against Boston. He will continue to provide depth at center, and he may be more involved if Moussa Diabate (quadriceps) can't play.

Hornets' Christian Anderson: Recalled to NBA
Charlotte recalled Anderson from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Friday.
With Dennis Schroder (thigh) questionable for Friday against Boston, the Hornets could be very shorthanded, considering Kon Knueppel (hamstring) is out once again. Anderson is projected to provide emergency depth in the short term.
