Top Pat Connaughton News

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Remaining out with calf strain

    Connaughton (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.

    The Hornets have now ruled out Connaughton for seven consecutive games well ahead of action. The lack of a single upgrade on his status insinuates that the veteran swingman's return from a strained right calf isn't imminent. Connaughton's absence opens up a few extra minutes for Liam McNeeley and Tidjane Salaun.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Another absence coming

    Connaughton (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

    The veteran swingman will miss a sixth consecutive game due to a right calf strain, and Friday's clash in Toronto marks his next chance to suit up. In Connaughton's absence, Liam McNeeley should pick up some more playing time off the bench.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Won't play Monday

    Connaughton (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.

    Connaughton will miss a fifth consecutive game due to a right calf strain. Liam McNeeley and Sion James figure to see expanded roles off the bench with Connaughton out of the lineup.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Won't play Saturday

    Connaughton (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

    Connaughton will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a right calf strain, so Liam McNeeley and Sion James should continue to see more minutes off the bench. Connaughton's next chance to return is Monday against the Nets.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Out against Chicago

    Connaughton (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Bulls.

    Connaughton will miss a third consecutive contest due to a right calf strain. His next chance to suit up will come against the Raptors on Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set. Liam McNeeley and Sion James should see more minutes due to Connaughton being sidelined.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Remaining out vs. New York

    Connaughton (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

    After sustaining a right calf strain in Saturday's loss to the Clippers, Connaughton will miss his second consecutive contest. The veteran swingman's next opportunity to return will come Friday against the Bulls. Liam McNeeley and Sion James are candidates for a slight bump in minutes due to Connaughton being sidelined.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Won't play Sunday

    Connaughton (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

    Connaughton exited Saturday's game against the Clippers early and will miss Sunday's matchup due to a right calf strain. The veteran wing has averaged only 9.7 minutes across 12 appearances this season, so his absence shouldn't significantly affect the rotation, though Liam McNeeley and Sion James could see a slight uptick in minutes.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Won't return Saturday

    Connaughton has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Clippers due to right calf soreness.

    Connaughton tweaked his right calf during the first half of Saturday's game, and he'll finish the day with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds over six minutes. Sion James, Collin Sexton and Liam McNeeley are candidates to see more minutes off the bench due to Connaughton's injury. He is now in jeopardy of being sidelined for the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back set Sunday against the Hawks.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Scores 13 off bench

    Connaughton supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 127-118 loss to Indiana.

    Connaughton does not have a consistent role among Charlotte's rotation, but with Liam McNeeley (illness) and Tre Mann (ankle) ruled out for Tuesday's contest, he saw more playing time as a result. However, with Mann and McNeeley expected to come back soon, and with Brandon Miller (shoulder) ramping up his return progress, Connaughton will likely find himself out of the rotation again.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Upgraded to available

    Connaughton (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

    Connaughton was initially listed as probable for this contest, so it's not surprising to see the veteran swingman being upgraded. Connaughton is averaging 8.0 minutes per game across six appearances this season, so he isn't likely to play a big role in the rotation even if available.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Probable for Wednesday

    Connaughton is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to an illness.

    The probable tag suggests Connaughton will likely be able to play Wednesday, although a final decision on his status will be made closer to Wednesday's tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET. Connaughton is averaging 8.0 minutes per game across six appearances this season, so the final call on his availability shouldn't generate a lot of movement in most formats.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Modest start to season continues

    Connaughton posted three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 loss to the Pelicans.

    Connaughton continues to play a limited role for his new team, having appeared in just four games thus far. His playing time has increased over the past two games, largely due to injuries to key players. At this point, there is no reason to think he will play a significant role, making him a non-factor in fantasy leagues.

  • Hornets' Pat Connaughton: Traded to Charlotte

    The Bucks traded Connaughton to the Hornets in exchange for Vasilije Micic on Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

    The Bucks also attached two of their own second-round picks (2031, 2032) to Connaughton to get this deal over the line. Connaughton recently exercised his $9.42 million player option for 2025-26, so this move by the Bucks will trim their total salary. During the 2024-25 regular season, Connaughton averaged 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers in 14.7 minutes per game over 41 contests.
