Boswell's right knee first showed up on the injury report on October 5, when the Hornets listed him as day-to-day. On October 20 the team downgraded him to out. The current estimate has him returning around November 2. He logged zero minutes in the October 6 loss to Brooklyn and the October 16 loss to Memphis, so there is no preseason tape to judge him on. The team has not said whether the November 2 date is firm or a target that could move.
02Who he isBoswell is a 21-year-old rookie guard out of Illinois.
Boswell is a 21-year-old rookie guard out of Illinois. He stands 6-1 and weighs 200 pounds. He has not been assigned a jersey number yet, and he has no NBA regular-season numbers on his ledger. There are no trade or contract rumors tied to him right now. For Charlotte, the near-term question is simply when he is healthy enough to practice and get his first minutes, and the early-November estimate is the only timeline the team has put out.
