Charlotte Hornets

Brandon Miller

F

Miller suffered a groin injury in Friday's 119-80 loss to the Celtics and didn't return. More information on his condition is expected to be released by Monday. For now, Tidjane Salaun and Sion James are candidates to replace Miller in the starting lineup versus the Cavaliers.

Moussa Diabate

F

The Hornets initially appeared optimistic about the big man's status for Monday, as he was added to the injury report as questionable Sunday. However, he was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day Monday and has since been ruled out. The Michigan product will miss his second straight matchup due to right quadriceps tendinopathy.

Grant Williams

F

Williams has yet to appear in a game this season due to a right hamstring strain. His next opportunity to suit up comes Thursday against the Suns.

Kon Knueppel

G

Knueppel missed the first eight games of the 2026-27 campaign. He returned for the 114-104 loss to Brooklyn on Wednesday, though he exited the contest after just six minutes of work and didn't return. With Knueppel out of commission for at least a month, Grayson Allen and Sion James are candidates to replace him in the starting lineup, especially with Dennis Schroder (hamstring) sidelined for a minimum of two weeks.

Dennis Schroder

G

Schroder, who missed Friday's game due to what was described as a left thigh injury, has been diagnosed with a hamstring strain. He is set to be reevaluated in two weeks, suggesting he will miss at least the next five games. Christian Anderson and Sion James could see extra minutes with Schroder sidelined.
