Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Falls out of rotation
Salaun (coach's decision) didn't appear off the bench Monday in the Hornets' 117-109 loss to the Clippers.
After being recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm in late November, Salaun had emerged as a regular part of the Charlotte rotation. From Dec. 1 through this past weekend, Salaun had appeared in 18 of 19 games and averaged 7.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers and 0.9 assists in 18.6 minutes per contest, with his only absence during that stretch being the result of a sore left ankle. However, with Grant Williams now back to full health after missing the start of the season while recovering from knee surgery, the Hornets no longer appear to have room on the second unit for Salaun. If playing time continues to be hard to come by for the second-year forward over the next handful of games, Salaun could be sent back to Greensboro in order to pick up steady minutes.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Solid all-around showing
Miller recorded 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 117-109 loss to the Clippers.
Miller provided a fairly balanced output Monday, and the 33 minutes were his most in the last three games. The star forward has averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks in 28.6 minutes per contest over six games this month, shooting 43.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Hornets' Kon Knueppel: Posts 18 points in defeat
Knueppel finished with 18 points (8-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 117-109 loss to the Clippers.
Knueppel had a solid night despite failing to convert beyond the arc during the loss. The 2025 first-round pick keeps the 2025-26 Rookie of the Year race close, as his average of 19.1 points is currently tied with his college teammate Cooper Flagg. Knueppel is aided by an excellent 48.0 percent conversion rate from the floor, and he currently sinks three-pointers at a 42.5-percent clip.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Logs impressive 13/15 line
Diabate closed with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 117-109 loss to the Clippers.
Diabate was an excellent bright spot during the loss, as the 2025 second-round pick continued to hold onto the starting role despite Ryan Kalkbrenner's return. Kalkbrenner scored only two points over 13 minutes during the loss, and while it may be the team's intent to bring Kalkbrenner back slowly, Diabate is definitely making a case for more time at the five. He logged a solid 8.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 blocks during Kalkbrenner's seven-game absence.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Paces team with 25 points
Ball contributed 25 points (11-24 FG, 3-11 3Pt), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 117-109 loss to the Clippers.
Ball scored seven consecutive points in the third quarter to put the game within striking distance, but the Clippers were ultimately able to hold off the Hornets, who have now lost three of their last four contests. After an injury-plagued start to the season, Ball has managed to rattle off 14 consecutive appearances, averaging 20.9 points, 6.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals over the span.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Ruled out Monday
Sexton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Sexton will miss his first game since Dec. 22 due to left hamstring soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Lakers. With the 27-year-old guard unavailable, Sion James, Josh Green and Tre Mann are candidates for increased minutes.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Good to go Monday
Bridges (knee) has been cleared to play Monday against the Clippers.
As anticipated, Bridges has been given the green light to suit up Monday night despite dealing with right knee soreness. He was fairly sluggish by his standards Saturday against Utah, finishing with 15 points on 5-for-6 from the field, but he isn't expected to face any kind of limitation Monday night.

Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Won't play Monday
Connaughton (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Connaughton was upgraded to questionable leading up to Monday's matchup, but he's since been ruled out while dealing with an illness. His next chance to take the court will arrive Thursday against the Lakers.

Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Could return Monday
Connaughton (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Connaughton was unable to play against the Jazz on Saturday due to an illness. The veteran forward could return Monday, though he hasn't been a consistent part of the Hornets' rotation and would likely ride the bench if available.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Iffy for Monday
Sexton is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to left hamstring soreness.
The hamstring issue is a new concern for Sexton, who hasn't missed a game since Dec. 22. If the 27-year-old guard is ultimately ruled out, Sion James, Josh Green and Tre Mann are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Likely to play through knee issue
Bridges is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Clippers due to right knee soreness.
Bridges was recently on the injury report due to a right ankle issue and is now working through a knee injury to the same leg, though he is trending toward being available for Monday's road tilt. If he were to be ruled out, then Tidjane Salaun, Sion James and Grant Williams would be in line for larger roles. Bridges has averaged 19.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.7 threes over 32.3 minutes per game over his last six outings.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Drills three treys in debut
Williams (knee) recorded nine points (3-10 FG, 3-10 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 150-95 win over the Jazz.
Suiting up for the first time all season after completing his recovery from Dec. 11, 2024 surgery to repair a torn meniscus and ACL in his right knee, Williams wasn't hesitant to fire away from deep. He connected on three triples and also rebounded well during his four shifts on the court before he checked out of the game for good with just under nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. As he gets ramped up, Williams should be capable of handling more playing time, though he may not be in line for a dramatic uptick from the 14 minutes he received Saturday now that the Hornets have all of their rotation players healthy for the first time all season.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Scores 18 points in win
Miller ended Saturday's 150-95 victory over Utah with 18 points (7-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals in 22 minutes.
While Miller didn't deliver his most efficient performance in the blowout win, he bounced back after scoring six points on 2-of-8 shooting in Thursday's loss to Indiana, when he was ejected after logging 19 minutes. Miller finished as Charlotte's second-leading scorer, recording 18 or more points for the sixth time in his last seven outings. Additionally, he tallied a game-high-tying three steals, matching his season high.

Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Nears double-double off bench
Kalkbrenner (elbow) accumulated 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Saturday's 150-95 win over the Jazz.
Kalkbrenner returned from a 10-game absence due to a sprained left elbow, chipping in double-digit points for just the third time across nine appearances (seven starts) since Dec. 1. The rookie big man led the second unit in rebounds as well, grabbing at least nine boards for the first time since Dec. 3. Kalkbrenner had started 25 of his 26 regular-season appearances entering Saturday's contest, so it will be worth monitoring his playing time and role going forward.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Paces Charlotte in blowout win
Mann had 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 12 minutes during Saturday's 150-95 win over the Jazz.
Mann hadn't seen the hardwood in five of Charlotte's last six outings due to a coach's decision, though he received extended burn in this blowout win. The 24-year-old guard led Charlotte with 20 points in just 12 minutes, matching his season-best mark in points. He also knocked down a season-high four triples. Still, with the team near full strength, Mann isn't guaranteed to play meaningful minutes moving forward.

Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Won't start in return
Kalkbrenner (elbow) won't start Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Kalkbrenner is available to return from a 10-game absence due to a sprained left elbow, though he'll come off the bench for just the second time this season. Moussa Diabate will remain in the starting five. In his lone appearance off the bench during a loss to New York on Dec. 3, Kalkbrenner posted eight points, nine rebounds and three blocks in 25 minutes.

Hornets' Collin Sexton: Not starting Saturday
Sexton won't start against the Jazz on Saturday.
With LaMelo Ball returning to the starting five, Sexton will slide to the second unit Saturday. Over four appearances off the bench this month, the 27-year-old guard has averaged 15.3 points, 2.5 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 23.5 minutes per game.
