Moving to starting role Diabate is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bucks.
Impact The Hornets will be without rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner (personal), so Diabate will start in his place. Diabate is averaging 9.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game off the bench this season. This will be his first start of the campaign.
NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Snags 13 boards Diabate logged seven points (1-3 FG, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 111-100 victory over the Bucks.
Impact Diabate didn't offer much in terms of scoring production, but he led the Hornets on the boards with 13 rebounds, which marks a season high for the Michigan product. Despite coming off the bench in every game this season, Diabate has offered up reasonable contributions, averaging 9.8 points and 7.5 rebounds while knocking down 65.0 percent of his field-goal attempts through 11 appearances.
NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Blocks three shots in loss Diabate supplied eight points (4-4 FG), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 121-111 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Diabate has been one of the main contributors off the bench, leading the second unit in minutes played Monday and making all four of his field goal attempts. He also had a wonderful defensive performance, logging three blocks and two steals, improving his season averages in those respective categories to 1.5 blocks and 0.6 steals. Diabate will continue to split time at center with rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner, though it appears the latter's role as the starter is firmly established.
NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Cruises to second double-double Diabate logged 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 win over the Jazz.
Impact Diabate paced the Charlotte bench in scoring, doing all of his damage near the cylinder in the second and third quarters. He was also a force on the boards, pulling down six of his 12 boards on the offensive glass on the way to his second double-double of the young season. Diabate clearly outplayed starter Ryan Kalkbrenner on the night, who was held to two points, four rebounds, four steals and four blocks in 22 minutes.

Kon Knueppel's career-high 24 points helps Hornets to a 126-103 rout of Jazz

Miles Bridges scored 29 points, Kon Knueppel added a career-high 24 and the Charlotte Hornets routed the Utah Jazz 126-103 to snap a three-game skid
NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • Associated Press
Just misses double-double Diabate finished with 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 19 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Diabate flirted with what would've been his second double-double of the season, but he's now corralled at least nine boards in three of his first six games. The fourth-year big man remains behind rookie second-rounder Ryan Kalkbrenner on the depth chart, but Diabate has been effective in a reserve role. He's averaged 10.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 19.8 minutes per contest, shooting 60.0 percent from the field.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Logs first double-double of season Diabate put up 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and an assist across 23 minutes in Sunday's 139-113 win over Washington.
Impact Diabate has been one of the more important players among the bench unit, as he and rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner continue to compete for minutes and potentially the starting job. If Diabate can continue to post performances like he did Sunday, he may be able to crack the starting lineup in the forseeable future.
OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Teases double-double off bench Diabate posted 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 win over the Nets.
Impact Although he came off the bench in favor of rookie big man Ryan Kalkbrenner, Diabate was still effective from the second unit. The two centers will likely be jockeying for positioning as Charlotte's top big man throughout the year, and Diabate remains someone for fantasy managers to keep an eye on in the early stages of the season.

Moussa Diabate unveils secret weapon the league was not prepared for Charlotte Hornets promising big man Moussa Diabate just showed that he is about to be a tougher matchup for opponents.
OCTOBER 23, 2025 • SWARMANDSTING.COM
Headed to bench Diabate will head to the bench for Wednesday's season opener against Brooklyn.
Impact Diabate was in and out of the starting unit throughout the preseason, so while he's not getting the start Wednesday, we wouldn't necessarily consider the reserve role a long-term thing. That said, he's not the most attractive target while working with the reserves, so he's a risky guy to deploy in daily fantasy leagues.
OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Logs 11 in preseason start Diabate put up 11 points (3-4 FG, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, three steals, a block and an assist over 23 minutes in Friday's 113-108 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Diabate drew the start over rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner and is trending towards being Charlotte's starting center in their first regular season game, as he outpaced Kalkbrenner (15) and Mason Plumlee (10) in minutes played during the team's final preseason outing. In eight starts during the 2024-25 season, Diabate averaged 7.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks over 28.3 minutes.

OCTOBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Friday Diabate will start in Friday's preseason game against New York.
Impact The 23-year-old center will join the first unit in the team's preseason finale, pushing Ryan Kalkbrenner to the bench. Diabate will start alongside Collin Sexton, Kon Knueppel, Liam McNeeley and Miles Bridges.
OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Monster double-double in preseason Diabate generated 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds and one block across 25 minutes of Wednesday's 145-116 preseason win over Memphis.
Impact Diabate led Charlotte's reserves in points and paced the whole team in rebounds. Nine of his 13 boards came on the offensive end. Entering his fourth professional season, Diabate appears to be competing with rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner for the starting center spot.
OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Heading to bench Saturday Diabate is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Diabate might have the inside track to earn the starting role after the offseason departure of Mark Williams, but he'll have to wait for his chance off the bench in this one. Ryan Kalkbrenner will get the starting nod in this one.
OCTOBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Moussa Diabate is making preseason statement the Hornets can't ignore Charlotte Hornets fans have been thrilled by what they've seen from Moussa Diabate in the preseason to this point.
OCTOBER 11, 2025 • SWARMANDSTING.COM
Solid work in starting role Diabate produced 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Thursday's 122-116 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Diabate currently has the inside track to the starting role at center after Mark Willams' departure. Mason Plumlee and 2025 second-round pick Ryan Kalkbrenner will also be on hand to provide support, but the first-unit spot is Diabate's to lose. He played a minimal role with Charlotte last season after spending two seasons with the Clippers, and the team is relying on the former Michigan star's potential to shore up the frontcourt.
OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Sunday Diabate will start in Sunday's preseason game against the Thunder, James Plowright of CLTure.org reports.
Impact Diabate will get the starting nod in Charlotte's preseason opener. The big man appeared in 71 regular-season games (eight starts) for the Hornets last season, during which he averaged 5.7 points and 6.2 rebounds across 17.5 minutes per game. He's expected to compete for playing time with Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kalkbrenner this season.

Impact Diabate returned for Sunday's regular-season finale after missing the last two games due to an illness, providing a spark off the Hornets bench by hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing one board shy of a double-double. Diabate posted at least 10 points and nine rebounds on eight occasions this season, tallying a double-digit scoring total in 16 outings.
