What's new? Another game where the Charlotte Hornets will be shorthanded as they have officially ruled out LaMelo Ball (R Ankle), Gordon Hayward (L Calf), Frank Ntilikina (L Tibia), PJ Washington (R Foot Sprain) and Mark Williams (Low Back) for tonight's game against the Chicago Bulls.
Hayward is inching closer to his re-evaluation of a calf strain but will remain out of the lineup for the next few games, at minimum. Washington exited Friday's game in Chicago with the ankle injury and did not return.
Despite returning to a bench role, Washington has been nearly just as effective as he was a year ago. Through 29 games played, Washington is averaging 13.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
The Hornets and Bulls will tip things off tonight at 7 p.m. EST.
