GAME LOG
Pat Connaughton - Could return Monday Connaughton (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Connaughton was unable to play against the Jazz on Saturday due to an illness. The veteran forward could return Monday, though he hasn't been a consistent part of the Hornets' rotation and would likely ride the bench if available.
1 HOUR AGO • ROTOWIRE
Collin Sexton - Iffy for Monday Sexton is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to left hamstring soreness.
Impact The hamstring issue is a new concern for Sexton, who hasn't missed a game since Dec. 22. If the 27-year-old guard is ultimately ruled out, Sion James, Josh Green and Tre Mann are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.
1 HOUR AGO • ROTOWIRE
Miles Bridges - Likely to play through knee issue Bridges is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to right knee soreness.
Impact Bridges was recently on the injury report due to a right ankle issue and is now working through a knee injury to the same leg, though he is trending toward being available for Monday's road tilt. If he were to be ruled out, then Tidjane Salaun, Sion James and Grant Williams would be in line for larger roles. Bridges has averaged 19.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.7 threes over 32.3 minutes per game over his last six outings.

Grant Williams - Drills three treys in debut Williams (knee) recorded nine points (3-10 FG, 3-10 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 150-95 win over the Jazz.
Impact Suiting up for the first time all season after completing his recovery from Dec. 11, 2024 surgery to repair a torn meniscus and ACL in his right knee, Williams wasn't hesitant to fire away from deep. He connected on three triples and also rebounded well during his four shifts on the court before he checked out of the game for good with just under nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. As he gets ramped up, Williams should be capable of handling more playing time, though he may not be in line for a dramatic uptick from the 14 minutes he received Saturday now that the Hornets have all of their rotation players healthy for the first time all season.

Brandon Miller - Scores 18 points in win Miller ended Saturday's 150-95 victory over Utah with 18 points (7-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 22 minutes.
Impact While Miller didn't deliver his most efficient performance in the blowout win, he bounced back after scoring six points on 2-of-8 shooting in Thursday's loss to Indiana, when he was ejected after logging 19 minutes. Miller finished as Charlotte's second-leading scorer, recording 18 or more points for the sixth time in his last seven outings. Additionally, he tallied a game-high-tying three steals, matching his season high.

Ryan Kalkbrenner - Nears double-double off bench Kalkbrenner (elbow) accumulated 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Saturday's 150-95 win over the Jazz.
Impact Kalkbrenner returned from a 10-game absence due to a sprained left elbow, chipping in double-digit points for just the third time across nine appearances (seven starts) since Dec. 1. The rookie big man led the second unit in rebounds as well, grabbing at least nine boards for the first time since Dec. 3. Kalkbrenner had started 25 of his 26 regular-season appearances entering Saturday's contest, so it will be worth monitoring his playing time and role going forward.
20 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Tre Mann - Paces Charlotte in blowout win Mann had 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 12 minutes during Saturday's 150-95 win over the Jazz.
Impact Mann hadn't seen the hardwood in five of Charlotte's last six outings due to a coach's decision, though he received extended burn in this blowout win. The 24-year-old guard led Charlotte with 20 points in just 12 minutes, matching his season-best mark in points. He also knocked down a season-high four triples. Still, with the team near full strength, Mann isn't guaranteed to play meaningful minutes moving forward.

Ryan Kalkbrenner - Won't start in return Kalkbrenner (elbow) won't start Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Kalkbrenner is available to return from a 10-game absence due to a sprained left elbow, though he'll come off the bench for just the second time this season. Moussa Diabate will remain in the starting five. In his lone appearance off the bench during a loss to New York on Dec. 3, Kalkbrenner posted eight points, nine rebounds and three blocks in 25 minutes.
23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Collin Sexton - Not starting Saturday Sexton won't start against the Jazz on Saturday.
Impact With LaMelo Ball returning to the starting five, Sexton will slide to the second unit Saturday. Over four appearances off the bench this month, the 27-year-old guard has averaged 15.3 points, 2.5 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 23.5 minutes per game.
23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
LaMelo Ball - Returning to first unit Ball is starting against the Jazz on Saturday.
Impact As expected, Ball is back in his regular role as the Hornets' starting point guard after coming off the bench the last time out purely due to maintenance reasons. Ball is averaging 18.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game over his last five appearances.
23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Pat Connaughton - Out once again Saturday Connaughton (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Connaughton was listed as questionable for this game due to an illness earlier Saturday, and the former Notre Dame standout will be sidelined, as the medical staff doesn't want to risk him. Connaughton will aim to return to action against the Clippers on Monday.

Tidjane Salaün - Good to go Saturday Salaun is available to play in Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Salaun was considered probable for Saturday's game due to a sprained left ankle. Since the start of December, Salaun has averaged 19.0 minutes per game. With Grant Williams (knee) and Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) now healthy, though, Salaun could see his minutes drop going forward.
1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Grant Williams - Cleared to make 2025-26 debut Williams (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Williams has fully recovered from a torn meniscus and ACL in his right knee that he suffered in November of 2024. The veteran forward has been given the green light to make his 2025-26 regular-season debut Saturday, though he'll likely operate under a heavy minutes restriction as he works his way back to NBA-level conditioning. Tidjane Salaun, Sion James and Josh Green will likely see their playing time impacted by Williams' return.
