Cody Martin Takes Part In Friday's Practice

Charlotte Hornets guard Cody Martin (illness) was able to take part during Friday's practice. Right now, Martin is on ready to suit up for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Mason Plumlee Dealing With A Calf Issue

Charlotte Hornets center Mason Plumlee (calf) remains questionable heading into the matchup versus Minnesota. The 31-year-old veteran strained his right calf on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic, so there's a good chance that he would concede minutes to P.J. Washington, who recently returned from a 10-game absence, even if he does play. Nonetheless, both are […]
