Pat Connaughton News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Remaining out with calf strain Connaughton (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Impact The Hornets have now ruled out Connaughton for seven consecutive games well ahead of action. The lack of a single upgrade on his status suggests the veteran swingman is week-to-week due to a strained right calf. Connaughton's absence opens up a few extra minutes for Liam McNeeley and Tidjane Salaun.

Impact After sustaining a right calf strain in Saturday's loss to the Clippers, Connaughton will miss his second consecutive contest.

Won't play Sunday Connaughton (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Connaughton exited Saturday's game against the Clippers early and will miss Sunday's matchup due to a right calf strain. The veteran wing has averaged only 9.7 minutes across 12 appearances this season, so his absence shouldn't significantly affect the rotation, though Liam McNeeley and Sion James could see a slight uptick in minutes.

Won't return Saturday Connaughton has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Clippers due to right calf soreness.

Impact Connaughton tweaked his right calf during the first half of Saturday's game, and he'll finish the day with zero point (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds over six minutes. Sion James, Collin Sexton and Liam McNeeley are candidates to see more minutes off the bench due to Connaughton's injury. Connaughton is now in jeopardy of being sidelined for the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back set Sunday against the Hawks.

NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 13 off bench Connaughton supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 127-118 loss to Indiana.

Impact Connaughton does not have a consistent role among Charlotte's rotation, but with Liam McNeeley (illness) and Tre Mann (ankle) ruled out for Tuesday's contest, he saw more playing time as a result. However, with Mann and McNeeley expected to come back soon, and with Brandon Miller (shoulder) ramping up his return progress, Connaughton will likely find himself out of the rotation again.

Upgraded to available Connaughton (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Connaughton was initially listed as probable for this contest, so it's not surprising to see the guard being upgraded. Connaughton is averaging 8.0 minutes per game across six appearances this season, so he shouldn't play a big role in the rotation even if available.

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Wednesday Connaughton is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to an illness.

Impact The probable tag suggests Connaughton should be able to play Wednesday, although a final decision on his status will be made closer to Wednesday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Connaughton is averaging 8.0 minutes per game across six appearances this season, so the final call on his availability shouldn't generate a lot of movement in most formats.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Modest start to season continues Connaughton posted three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Connaughton continues to play a limited role for his new team, having appeared in just four games thus far. His playing time has increased over the past two games, largely as a result of injuries to key players. At this point, there is no reason to think he will play a significant role, making him a non-factor in fantasy leagues.
