BEHIND THE SCENES OF CHARLOTTE HORNETS VS. ORLANDO MAGIC
3 months ago
Marine Fauthoux - Expected to play for New York Fauthoux (knee) will be joining the Liberty for the 2026 season, Myles Ehrlich of Winsidr.com reports.
Impact Fauthoux was selected by the Liberty with the No. 29 pick of the 2021 WNBA Draft but has spent the last five seasons overseas. She's joining the team as a developmental player and wants to make her WNBA debut this year. However, Fauthoux continues to recover from ACL surgery, so it's unclear when she would be available to make her league debut.

Pistons play Magic in NBA playoffs, shooting to snap a streak and start a run that many don't expect

The Detroit Pistons have rebuilt their franchise in two years, coming back from one of the worst stretches in NBA history to earn top seeding in the Eastern Conference playoffs

Jonathan Isaac - Iffy for Game 1 Isaac (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Pistons.
Impact Isaac is in danger of missing a 20th consecutive contest due to a left knee sprain. If he's ultimately ruled out, Tristan da Silva and Jamal Cain could see a small bump in playing time.

Antonio Reeves - Sees limited NBA action in 2025-26 Reeves averaged 2.7 points and 0.8 rebounds in 6.8 minutes per contest across 10 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.
Impact After appearing in 44 regular-season games (six starts) for the Pelicans in 2024-25, Reeves joined the Hornets on a two-way pact for 2025-26. He played a significant role for the G League's Greensboro Swarm, who won their first G League title this season. Over 35 G League games, he averaged 17.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.6 steals in 32.1 minutes per tilt.

Liam McNeeley - Appears in season-ending loss McNeeley contributed two points (1-1 FG) and one steal across six minutes during Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.
Impact McNeeley saw the floor in Friday's blowout loss, marking just his second appearance of April, including the regular season. The rookie first-rounder played a muted role for the Hornets, averaging 4.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 11.9 minutes per contest across 31 regular-season outings off the bench. He appeared in 20 G League games for the Greensboro Swarm, with whom he averaged 19.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists across 31.9 minutes per contest. The 20-year-old will look to earn a more sizable role in 2026-27, though the only notable rotation player the Hornets could lose in free agency is Coby White.
