Impact Mann's absence will mark his fifth-straight due to lower back soreness diagnosed as disc irritation.

It is poor timing for the backup point guard, as starter LaMelo Ball is also expected to be sidelined during the same time period, which means it is a missed opportunity for increased playing time. As a result, Brandon Miller, Seth Curry, Vasilije Micic, Nick Smith and Cody Martin are the backcourt candidates for Charlotte going forward.
