Pat Connaughton News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Cleared to return Connaughton (calf) is available for Saturday's game against Detroit.

Impact Connaughton will be active for the first time since Nov. 22 due to a strained right calf. The veteran wing is averaging 9.7 minutes across 12 appearances this season, and with the Hornets nearly at full health, he'll likely play sparingly Saturday.

Listed questionable for Saturday Connaughton (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against Detroit.

Impact A right calf strain has shelved the veteran swingman since late November, but he looks to be making progress towards a return to the court. Connaughton figures to have a minutes restriction if he's healthy for Saturday, though his presence could still create a crunch for playing time for Josh Green and Tidjane Salaun.
