Liam McNeeley News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Won't play Thursday McNeeley (ankle) is out for Thursday's game in Indiana.

Impact McNeely continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff, suggesting he's made little progress in his recovery from the ankle injury. Until the Hornets provide a meaningful update on his rehab, the rookie should be considered week-to-week.

Remaining out Tuesday McNeeley (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Impact McNeeley, who hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Jan. 28, will remain sidelined while managing a left ankle sprain. His next opportunity to return comes Thursday against the Pacers, though his inconsistent role in the Hornets' rotation means playing time isn't guaranteed even once healthy.

Won't play Sunday McNeeley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Impact McNeeley has been dealing with a left ankle sprain since early February and will not be available for Sunday's contest. He appeared to fall out of the Hornets' rotation prior to his ankle issue, so his return -- which could take place Tuesday against the Bulls -- wouldn't make much of an impact.

Sees 21 minutes in loss McNeeley racked up seven points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and one block over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 97-96 loss to Toronto.

Impact With Brandon Miller (knee) getting the night off for the front end of this back-to-back set, McNeeley was able to absorb some minutes Wednesday. He's been used pretty sparingly recently, averaging 10.7 minutes over his last six outings.

Recalled to NBA Charlotte recalled McNeeley from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

Impact McNeeley is coming off a productive stint in the G League. During Sunday's 127-117 G League win over the San Diego Clippers, he produced 22 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 32 minutes. He'll be competing with Josh Green for a rotation spot moving forward.

Assigned to G League Charlotte assigned McNeeley to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.

Impact The Hornets are off until Friday, so the franchise is looking to get the rookie some additional reps. In his last three NBA appearances, McNeeley averaged 8.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 19.5 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 13 off bench in loss McNeeley produced 13 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 115-106 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact McNeeley set a career high in scoring Sunday, and has been increasingly involved in Charlotte's rotation. The rookie is averaging 8.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.8 asists, 0.4 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.2 threes made on a 50.0 percent clip across 17.8 minutes in his last five games, and will continue to backup Miles Bridges.

Scores eight points Monday McNeeley ended with eight points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Monday's 116-103 loss to the Nets.

Impact McNeeley's eight points matched his career high, highlighting what a struggle it has been thus far during his rookie season. Despite the fact that Charlotte has dealt with multiple injuries, McNeeley has been unable to carve out a meaningful role, averaging 4.3 points in 13.0 minutes per game through his first 15 appearances.

Grabs six boards in return McNeeley (illness) registered three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 131-116 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Back in action after missing the Hornets' previous four games, McNeeley reclaimed a spot in the Charlotte rotation as a backup forward. With Brandon Miller (shoulder) making his return from a 13-game absence of his own, the Hornets are now close to full strength on the wing and at forward, so any pathway McNeeley might have had to see major minutes on a longer-term basis has likely closed. Miller will rest for the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back set Sunday in Atlanta, however, so McNeeley could be in line for a one-game bump in playing time.

Good to go for Saturday Charlotte coach Charles Lee said McNeeley (illness) will be available for Saturday's game against the Clippers, according to Hornets Reddit.

Impact McNeeley missed the past four games for Charlotte, but he's no longer under the weather. Prior to his illness, McNeeley was starting to carve out a minor role at the edge of the rotation.
