Moussa Diabaté News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Nearly double-doubles Diabate finished with nine points (2-4 FG, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 118-89 victory over the Celtics.

Impact Diabate continues to shine as Charlotte's starting center. Meanwhile, rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner has had to settle for a role with minutes in the teens off the bench. With Charlotte eyeing a playoff spot, Diabate's role appears to be locked in.

Second straight double-double Diabate supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 109-93 victory over Portland.

Impact The fourth-year center recorded his second straight double-double, and his 16th of the season. Diabate was suspended for four games in February, and his production when he's been on the court has been very matchup-dependent -- through seven appearances on the month, he's averaged just 8.0 points, 10.1 boards and 3.1 assists in 28.9 minutes.

Enjoys strong all-around night Diabate had 14 points (7-8 FG), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-109 win over the Pacers.

Impact Diabate powered his way to his second double-double in six February appearances. He led the Hornets in rebounds and also contributed defensively by accounting for two of Charlotte's 10 steals. Diabate continues to offer solid production across the board as the squad's starting center.

Makes return from suspension Diabate finished Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls with nine points (4-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals in 31 minutes.

Impact Diabate played his first game since Feb. 9 after serving a four game suspension for an altercation with the Detroit Pistons, and he appeared to not miss a beat in his absence. The Michigan product caused havoc defensively while sinking all four of his field goal attempts and dishing out five assists. After playing 31 minutes in a massive win, it's safe to assume Diabate maintains a grip on the starting center role in Charlotte.
