The Charlotte Hornets have experienced several injuries over the last few seasons, and head coach Charles Lee is wondering if the current offseason preparation of NBA players can be improved.
The Charlotte Hornets may be at rock bottom after letting the Boston Celtics come into Charlotte and whallop them by almost 40 points. It's their second massive blowout loss (47 to the Atlanta Hawks), and the overall point differential is -13.9, the third-worst in the NBA.
Brandon Miller experienced right groin soreness in the second quarter of Friday’s game against Boston and did not return, the Hornets announced (via Twitter).

On Wednesday evening, the Charlotte Hornets continued their ugly start to the season with a tough road loss at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets. Things went from bad to worse in this one when shooting guard Kon Knueppel exited the lineup with an apparent hamstring injury.
The Hornets could use another guard, but that doesn’t mean they need to start giving away draft picks to find one. That’s the case made by Sports Illustrated’s Mark Livingston, who outlined four possible additions to a backcourt dealing with uncertainty around Kon Knueppel and recent offensive struggles from Dennis Schroder.
Typically, the path to the NBA for most players is to spend at least a season in college to get high-level basketball and important development under their belts.
Charlotte could use some help at guard, with Kon Knueppel likely back on the shelf and Dennis Schröder struggling offensively of late... Jeff Peterson has a decision to make: he can either wait for things to improve or look to bring in another guard right away.
It's been a rough last week for the purple and teal, who have now dropped five straight games, with their latest defeat coming at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets.
The Charlotte Hornets had a second opportunity to take on the lowly Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night, allowing them a chance to end their losing streak and continue stacking wins while not fully healthy.

Michael Jordan reportedly contacted Charlotte Hornets president of basketball operations Jeff Peterson to make sure Brandon Miller would not be included in the franchise’s offseason overhaul.
After a 3-5 start to the season, the Charlotte Hornets were hopeful that the season debut for sharpshooter Kon Knueppel on Wednesday would be a major spark.
After missing the first eight games of the regular season due to a left hamstring strain, Hornets sharpshooter Kon Knueppel has been upgraded to available for Wednesday’s game in Brooklyn and will make his season debut, according to the team (Twitter link).
The Hornets are close to getting back a player who should make scoring a little easier for everyone else. Kon Knueppel has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday’s game against the Nets, putting him in position to make his season debut after missing eight games with a left hamstring strain, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.
Playing in front of his new home crowd for the first time, AJ Dybantsa put his full skill set on display as the Washington Wizards beat the Charlotte Hornets 95-79 on Friday night.

It seemed like Reid was on the way to another excellent performance Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons, but Hornets head coach Charles Lee had a different opinion.
