Coby White was moved from Out to Cleared on the Sunday evening injury report. The Hornets, 3-4 and on a three-game losing streak, host the Pistons on Monday night.
What happened
The Hornets guard was listed as Cleared on the injury report posted Sunday, Nov. 1, at 5:29 p.m. ET. His previous status was Out. The report gave no detail on the move and carried no comment, and no return date was announced. White, 26, has dealt with a left calf issue. He was first listed day-to-day on Oct. 5. He then went back and forth between day-to-day and out through October. His most recent entry before Sunday was an Out designation on Saturday, Oct. 24.
What it means for the Hornets
Charlotte plays the Pistons on Monday, Nov. 2, at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Hornets are 3-4, hold the eighth seed and have lost three straight. They are 0-0 with White and 3-4 without him, so he has yet to play a game for them this season. Brandon Miller has carried the load without him at 34.0 minutes and 24.4 points. Dennis Schroder (32.4 minutes), Moussa Diabate (29.4), Naz Reid (29.0) and Grayson Allen (27.4) fill out the top of the rotation. Grant Williams and Kon Knueppel are both listed as Out with hamstring injuries.
What to watch
The next injury report ahead of Monday's game will show whether White stays cleared for the Pistons. No minutes limit has been announced, and no return date beyond the clearance is given. Watch how the Hornets work him into a rotation that has leaned on Schroder, Allen and Miller during his absence. Williams and Knueppel remain out, so the depth question stays open. After the Pistons, Charlotte looks to end its three-game skid.
