Hornets' Coby White: Out through All-Star break

White will be held out through the All-Star break in an abundance of caution to help rest his ailing right calf, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports Thursday.

White has been dealing with this nagging calf injury all season, so with some extended rest, he might finally be able move past the issue. White will miss the next four games for his new team, and with the Hornets coming out of the break with a back-to-back set, there's a chance that White will need to remain on the sidelines for their matchup with the Rockets on Feb. 19. Once healthy, White's fit with Charlotte after the trade deadline will be one to monitor, as LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller are locked into starting roles.
