Tony Parker is Ruled Out for Sunday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's not a good sign when a player gets ruled out a full day in advance. He missed Friday's contest and could be looking at an extended absence. Malik Monk should benefit from this, but he didn't […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is Questionable for Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (ankle) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's missed five straight games, but MKG said he was targeting a return late this week. Miles Bridges and Dwayne Bacon have been playing extended minutes with MKG out of the rotation.

Frank Kaminsky Scores Season-High 12 Points

Charlotte Hornets power forward/center Frank Kaminsky drew 19 minutes of playing time off the bench during Friday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, scoring 12 points and adding eight rebounds.

Jeremy Lamb Scores 18 Points In Defeat

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb saw a hefty workload during Friday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 18 points across 36 minutes.

Kemba Walker Pours In 25 Points In Loss

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker finished Friday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder with 25 points and eight assists, finishing 10-for-23 from the field overall, including 2-for-10 from three-point range.

Willy Hernangomez Available To Play Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Willy Hernangomez has been cleared to play in Friday’s contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Tony Parker To Miss Friday’s Game

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker has been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a rib contusion.

Willy Hernangomez is Probable for Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Willy Hernangomez (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He sat out of Wednesday's game, but it appears that his ankle injury is minor. Frank Kaminsky could move out of the rotation entirely if Hernangomez returns on Friday.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Ruled Out on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Miles Bridges and Dwayne Bacon should see […]

Dwayne Bacon First Man Off The Bench Wednesday

Marvin Williams Helped To Locker Room

Charlotte Hornets power forward Marvin Williams (face contusion) was helped to the locker room during the third quarter of Wednesday night's game against the Pacers.
