Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Top rebounder in starting lineup

Diabate ended Friday's 99-98 loss to the Knicks with six points (3-4 FG, 0-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 37 minutes.

Diabate paced all Hornets in Friday's contest on the glass, hauling in a team-best rebound total despite failing to reach double figures in scoring in the starting lineup. Diabate got his third starting nod of the year in place of Taj Gibson. In all three of those starts, Diabate has surpassed the double-digit mark in rebounds.
