What it means for the Hornets
Charlotte hosts the Heat on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 6 p.m. ET. The Hornets are 1-1, eighth in the standings, and lost their last game. White has not played yet this season, so both games came without him. Last season he averaged 17.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 25.0 minutes over 50 games. Without him, Naz Reid has led the scoring with 18.5 points in 28.8 minutes. Grayson Allen has added 16.0 points in 24.2 minutes. Dennis Schroder has 11.5 points in 27.4 minutes. Brandon Miller has played the most, at 29.1 minutes, and Sion James has played 25.3.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether White plays against Miami. The report lists Oct. 24 as his expected return. But his status has changed four times since Oct. 20, so Saturday's report matters more than that date. The Hornets have other names on the report too. Grant Williams (right hamstring) and Kon Knueppel (left hamstring) are day-to-day. Kylan Boswell (right knee) is out.
