Charlotte Hornets injury report
6 players on the current report.
- Coby WhiteDay-To-Day
CHA · Undisclosed · 2026-10-21
Lee wouldn't confirm whether White will miss Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets, so he can be considered highly questionable for that contest until further notice. If the 26-year-old guard needs to miss time to begin the regular season, Dennis Schroder and Christian Anderson would likely see an uptick in minutes.
- Grant WilliamsDay-To-Day
CHA · Undisclosed · 2026-10-21
Williams will be re-evaluated the first week of the regular season, putting his status for Opening Night in the air. Williams will have a difficult path to minutes this season as he competes with the likes of Naz Reid, Royce O'Neale and Tidjane Salaun.
- Grayson AllenDay-To-Day
CHA · Knee · 2026-10-21
Allen missed a third consecutive contest due to right knee soreness. If he's unable to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against Atlanta, Sion James and Royce O'Neale could see increased minutes.
- Kon KnueppelDay-To-Day
CHA · Hamstring · 2026-10-21
Knueppel missed the preseason with a left hamstring injury, though it's encouraging to see him ramping up his workload ahead of the regular season. Lee wouldn't comment on the second-year wing's status for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets, so he can be considered highly questionable until more information comes to light.
- Kylan BoswellDay-To-Day
CHA · Undisclosed · 2026-10-21
It doesn't sound like the two-way guard will be available for the preseason, but he's hopeful to not miss any time during the G League season. Boswell is not expected to be a significant part of the Hornets' rotation this season.
- Moussa DiabateDay-To-Day
CHA · Undisclosed · 2026-10-21
Diabate can be considered day-to-day moving forward, and his status for Wednesday's regular-season opener in Brooklyn remains unclear. If he's sidelined, Ryan Kalkbrenner and rookie Hannes Steinbach would be candidates for increased roles.
