Coby White was cleared on Wednesday, moving off the injury report's Day-To-Day list for his left calf. The Hornets host no one tonight but visit the Nets at 7:30 PM ET, and he is no longer listed.
What happened
Charlotte guard Coby White was cleared on the injury report at 6:49 PM ET on Wednesday, Nov. 4. He had been Day-To-Day on Tuesday with a left calf issue. The report gave no detail and no comment with the move. It is the latest turn in a calf timeline that has shifted often. He was listed Out on Oct. 22, back to Day-To-Day the same day, Out again on Oct. 24, and cleared on Nov. 1 before the Day-To-Day tag returned on Tuesday. No return date is needed now, since he is no longer listed.
What it means for the Hornets
The Hornets (3-5, ninth seed, losers of four straight) play at the Nets on Wednesday at 7:30 PM ET, less than an hour after the report. White has played one game for Charlotte, a loss. In it he logged 15.9 minutes and had 7.0 points and 3.0 assists. The team is 3-4 without him. Brandon Miller has led the rotation in those games at 33.7 minutes and 23.5 points. Dennis Schroder (31.2 minutes), Naz Reid and Moussa Diabate (28.7 each) and Grayson Allen (26.3) have covered the rest of the guard and big minutes. Kon Knueppel (left hamstring) and Grant Williams (right hamstring) remain out.
What to watch
Watch his minutes at Brooklyn. Whether he starts or plays a limited role has not been announced. His calf has flared up repeatedly this season, so any change to his status would show up on the next injury report. The date of that report is not announced. The Nets game is the only contest on the schedule that matters for now. Knueppel and Williams stay on the report with their hamstring injuries, and neither has a return date announced.
Is Coby White playing at the Nets?
He was cleared at 6:49 PM ET on Wednesday and is no longer on the injury report ahead of the 7:30 PM ET game at Brooklyn. Whether he starts or has a minutes limit has not been announced.
When will Coby White be back?
He is no longer listed, so no return date applies. He was cleared from Day-To-Day for a left calf issue on Nov. 4. The calf has put him on and off the report several times since Oct. 22.
