INJURIES

Iffy for Monday James (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Impact James is dealing with an illness and is at risk of missing Monday's contest. With Kon Knueppel (ankle) out, James would be slated for a significant role if available against Milwaukee. If he sits, Collin Sexton and Josh Green could see expanded roles.

LaMelo Ball scores 23, Hornets use strong fourth quarter to pull away from Wizards 126-109

LaMelo Ball had 23 points and nine assists, Brandon Miller added 20 points and the Charlotte Hornets pulled away in the fourth quarter to defeat the Washington Wizards 126-109 on T...
DECEMBER 24, 2025 • Associated Press
Quiet in 21 minutes James provided seven points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and three assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 139-132 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact With the Hornets close to full strength, James may struggle to find enough minutes and touches to make a fantasy impact outside of deeper formats. Over his last five games, James has averaged 8.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes per contest.
DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Headed to bench James will come off the bench for Thursday's game versus the Hawks.
Impact James will return to the second unit with LaMelo Ball back in action, so his minutes will likely dip Thursday. As a reserve this season, James owns averages of 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds 1.3 triples per game in 22.5 minutes a night.
DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Draws start Sunday James is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact James will replace KJ Simpson in the first unit with LaMelo Ball (ankle) out once again. Although James is listed as the starting point guard, it's likely that Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller initiate most of the offense.
DECEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Rare offensive showing James racked up 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Friday's 129-126 loss to Chicago.
Impact James scored double digits for just the seventh time this season, a welcome sight for anyone who streamed him in. While the offensive production was unexpected, his defensive contributions continue to be mostly underwhelming. At this stage, it appears as though James could end up being a player whose real-life value outweighs his fantasy value, making him a hard player to trust outside of deeper formats.
DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Friday James is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Raptors.
Impact James will return to a reserve role with Brandon Miller active, but James should still be in the rotation with Tre Mann (ankle) unavailable. Through nine games with the second unit this season, James has posted averages of 6.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 triples a night.
DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Enters starting five James is starting Monday's game against the Nets.
Impact James will join the starting lineup Monday due to the absence of Brandon Miller (shoulder). James hasn't been effective in a starting role of late, as he's been held to single figures in the scoring column in each of his last four chances with the first unit.
DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Passive again in victory James contributed two points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 118-111 overtime victory over the Raptors.
Impact Despite playing a sizeable role for the Hornets, James continues to have a knack for offering very little in terms of tangible production. Through the first 20 games of his career, he is averaging a mere 6.6 points and 3.3 rebounds in 26.4 minutes per game.

Bridges scores 35 points as Hornets overcome 17-point deficit to beat Raptors 118-111 in OT

Miles Bridges scored 10 of his 35 points in overtime and the Charlotte Hornets overcame a 17-point first half deficit to beat Toronto 118-111, ending the Raptors’ nine-game winning...
NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • Associated Press
Not starting Wednesday James will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Impact James had started 11 of the Hornets' past 12 games, but the rookie wing will move to a reserve role with the team's preferred starting lineup healthy. Still, James should see somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 minutes Wednesday night.
NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Entering starting five James is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Impact James will return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench Saturday. In 10 starts this season, the rookie has averaged 6.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 29.2 minutes per contest. With the Hornets down three regulars in LaMelo Ball (ankle), Brandon Miller (shoulder) and Ryan Kalkbrenner (ankle), James should see added opportunities Sunday.
NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Coming off bench Saturday James is not in the Hornets' starting lineup against the Clippers on Saturday.
Impact James has started in each of the Hornets' last nine games, during which he's averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals over 29.3 minutes per game. However, the rookie second-rounder will revert to a bench role Saturday due to the return of Brandon Miller (shoulder).
NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to play James (groin) is available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Impact While James has been upgraded from probable, the rookie may lose his starting spot, as Brandon Miller (shoulder) has been cleared to return following a lengthy absence. As a reserve this season, James has averaged 8.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.2 minutes per game (five appearances).
NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Probable for Saturday James is probable for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to a left groin issue.
Impact It doesn't sound like the left groin issue will impact James' status for Saturday's game, and we'll have official confirmation on his status prior to tip-off. The rookie is averaging 7.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 triples on the season.
NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Scoreless in loss James racked up zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to the Raptors.
Impact While James was able to contribute in other categories, Monday's scoreless outing was the worst performance of his young professional career. James has been on a cold streak offensively, shooting 23.1 percent from the field and a meager 17.6 percent from three in his last four games. While it is unclear when he will break out of this shooting slump, James does not hold much value due to the lack of volume and efficiency.

Modest showing in loss James ended with seven points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Monday's 121-111 loss to the Lakers.
Impact James has been a solid contributor in the starting lineup standing in for LaMelo Ball (ankle), posting averages of 9.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.8 threes made in his last four games. While Ball is questionable to play Wednesday against Milwaukee, James will likely remain in the starting lineup, but if Ball returns from injury James will return to the bench, but will still likely play significant minutes.

Hornets' most underrated draft pick is actively changing the culture This team has never been good at finding gems. Can Sion James change that?
NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • SWARMANDSTING.COM
Pops for 15 points James ended Sunday's 126-103 win over the Jazz with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes.
Impact James has a 9.9 percent usage rate on the season, which is the second lowest on the team, but he took advantage of some extra touches Sunday with LaMelo Ball (ankle) joining Brandon Miller (shoulder) on the shelf to put up a career-high 15 points. James has looked like a draft day steal to open the season, posting averages of 9.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.9 three-pointers on 66.7 percent shooting from the field through seven outings.
NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Starting sans Ball James will start in Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Impact With LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined, James will get the starting nod in the second leg of the team's back-to-back set. Over six regular-season outings (one start), the rookie has averaged 8.2 points and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 64.0 percent from the field in 22.3 minutes per game.
NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Retreating to bench vs. Minnesota James won't start in Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact After starting Thursday's loss to Orlando, the rookie will retreat to the bench in favor of Collin Sexton. Over five regular-season appearances (one start), James has averaged 8.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 63.6 percent from the field in 21.4 minutes per contest.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Scores eight points on five shots James finished Thursday's 123-107 loss to Orlando with eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes.
Impact Through the first five games of the season, James has been converting an absurd 63.6 percent of his shot attempts, to go with averages of 8.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 triples and 1.4 assists per game. The sky-high shooting percentage isn't sustainable, but he is worth a look in deep leagues while he's this hot.
