Available Monday Diabate (wrist) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Diabate will return from a two-game absence due to a right wrist sprain, and he's expected to get the starting nod with Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) remaining on the shelf. Diabate has started each of his last four outings, averaging 9.0 points, 12.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 33.0 minutes per contest over that stretch. With the 23-year-old big man back in the lineup, PJ Hall should slide to the second unit against Oklahoma City.

Impact With Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) still sidelined, Diabate should resume his role as the starting center in his expected return from a two-game absence.

Questionable for Monday Diabate (wrist) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Thunder.
Impact It looks like there's a chance Diabate could return from a two-game absence Monday, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If Diabate is cleared to return, Tidjane Salaun could see a reduction in minutes.

Out again Saturday Diabate (wrist) won't play in Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Listed out Friday Diabate is out for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a right wrist sprain.
Impact Diabate will try to recover in time to be available for Saturday's contest against the Bulls. The Hornets are incredibly thin at center Friday, meaning PJ Hall could be thrust into a big role at the five. Tidjane Salaun might see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in deeper leagues as well.

Questionable with wrist sprain Diabate is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a right wrist sprain.
Impact Friday is the first half of a back-to-back for the Hornets, which could play a part in determining the 2022 second-rounder's availability this weekend. With Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) and Mason Plumlee (groin) unavailable, PJ Hall could start at center while Tidjane Salaun picks up the backup role if Diabate is also out.

Another double-double Diabate provided 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and one block over 33 minutes during Friday's 120-105 victory over the Magic.
Impact Diabate continues to make the most of the fact that he is basically the last healthy center left on the Hornets roster. He recorded his second straight double-double, grabbing at least 13 rebounds for the third straight game. He is a clear must-roster player right now, keeping in mind that when Ryan Kalkbrenner returns from his elbow injury, Diabate will likely go back to being an elite stream option.
