Hornets' Jared Rhoden: Claimed off waivers
The Hornets claimed Rhoden off waivers Monday and are expected to sign him to a two-way deal, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Rhoden made 31 NBA regular-season appearances over the last two seasons -- both in Detroit. The Hornets are set with Miles Bridges, Brandon Miller, Josh Green and Grant Williams on the wings, but if one of those players suffers an injury, Rhoden could carve out a rotational role.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Grabs 14 boards Thursday
Salaun amassed seven points (2-11 FG, 2-7 3PT, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-116 preseason loss to the Pacers.
Salaun shifted to the bench, allowing Seth Curry to slide into the starting lineup. Although his shot was not falling, Salaun found other ways to contribute, hauling in an impressive 14 rebounds. His role remains somewhat uncertain, but could certainly increase as the season progresses. He is not worth drafting in standard leagues but should the Hornets opt to lean into their youth at any point, he could pop up on the radar.

Hornets' Nick Richards: Efficient in starting role
Richards finished with 10 points (5-6FG), five rebounds and one block in 13 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to Indiana.
Richards continues to start at the center position for the Hornets with Mark Williams unavailable due to a foot issue. There is no certainty Williams will be ready to go on Opening Night, making Williams a viable short-term streaming option, even in standard formats.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Leads all scorers in loss
Miller produced 20 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3PT, 3-3 FT), one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to the Pacers.
Miller continues to shine on the offensive end, leading all scorers despite the loss. Even with the return of LaMelo Ball, it appears as though Miller is not going to be shy when it comes to getting shots up. Although his overall game remains a little unproven, Miller is firming as a solid mid-round target in standard league drafts.

Hornets' Nick Smith: Shows rust vs. Pacers
Smith (groin) recorded 14 points (4-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 25 minutes in Thursday's 121-116 loss to Indiana.
Smith missed time during the preseason due to a groin injury but got the green light to suit up Thursday. He contributed across the board in the preseason finale despite struggling to find his shooting stroke. The Arkansas product's role in Charlotte's rotation is undefined heading into the 2024-25 campaign given a crowded backcourt that includes Tre Mann, Seth Curry, Vasilije Micic and KJ Simpson as reserve options.

Hornets' Josh Green: Remains out Thursday
Green (rest) didn't play in Thursday's 121-116 preseason loss to the Pacers.
The Hornets have yet to indicate that Green is dealing with any kind of injury, though it's concerning that he hasn't seen any game action since Oct. 10 against Memphis. As long as he's healthy, he should be a full go for his squad's regular-season opener Wednesday in Houston.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Not starting Thursday
Salaun is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers.
Salaun started against the Knicks on Tuesday, but the rookie will make way for Seth Curry, who will get the nod at shooting guard alongside Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball in the backcourt. Salaun should see decent minutes off the bench, though, as this is the Hornets' preseason finale before the regular-season opener against the Rockets on Oct. 23.

Hornets' Seth Curry: Starting vs. Indiana
Curry is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers.
Curry will be the only change in the Hornets' lineup compared to their most recent preseason tune-up, and he will send rookie Tidjane Salaun to the bench. Curry is battling for a role off the bench ahead of the season opener against the Rockets on Oct. 23.

Hornets' Nick Richards: Hits six free throws Tuesday
Richards finished Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks with eight points (1-1 FG, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal across 18 minutes.
Richards has started in each of the Hornets' four preseason games as Mark Williams continues to work through a foot injury. If Williams is unable to suit up for Opening Night, Richards should serve as Charlotte's starting center until the former returns. Richards started 51 of 67 regular-season games for the Hornets last year and averaged 9.7 points on 69.1 percent shooting and 8.0 rebounds across 26.3 minutes per game.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Heavy playing time vs. Knicks
Salaun tallied 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and eight rebounds across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Salaun was inserted into the starting five for Seth Curry on Tuesday, and the former got an extended look with a game-high 37 minutes of playing time. The rookie first-round pick is expected to come off the bench for the start of the 2024-25 regular season, but Salaun could earn more minutes -- and possibly a spot in the starting rotation -- if he outplays Josh Green (rest) and Cody Martin early on.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Continues strong preseason
Mann tallied 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists and four rebounds during Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Mann retreated to the bench Tuesday as LaMelo Ball (rest) returned to the starting lineup. Despite the demotion, Mann continued his strong preseason by leading the bench in scoring and was second on the Hornets in that category behind Brandon Miller (26). Mann is expected to come off the bench during the 2024-25 regular season, but he could have a big role on some nights should Ball and/or Miller be sidelined.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Another strong outing
Miller recorded 26 points (10-20 FG, 6-11 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Miller shot an impressive 37.3 percent from three as a rookie and is showing this preseason that he can improve upon that number in 2024-25. With LaMelo Ball back in action to run the offense, Miller could establish himself as one of the best young scorers in the NBA.

Hornets' Nick Smith: Doesn't suit up Tuesday
Smith (groin) didn't play in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.
The Hornets said Smith would be re-evaluated for his left groin injury in one week from Oct. 6, but the team has yet to release any updates. Smith's status for the beginning of the regular season is now in question, and his next chance to suit up is Thursday's preseason finale against the Pacers.

Hornets' Cody Martin: Sits out against New York
Martin (wrist) didn't play in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Despite Charlotte not releasing any updates, Martin missed his fourth straight preseason outing due to a wrist injury. Martin's next chance to suit up is Thursday's preseason finale against Indiana.

Hornets' Josh Green: Doesn't play Tuesday
Green (rest) didn't play during Tuesday's preseason 111-105 loss to the Hornets.
Green sat out Charlotte's previous contest for rest purposes, but the team gave no indication that he would sit out again Tuesday or had suffered an injury. Regardless, Green's next chance to suit up will be Thursday's preseason finale against Indiana.

Hornets' Seth Curry: Expected off bench Tuesday
Curry is not in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Knicks.
Tidjane Salaun will get the start at small forward Tuesday, pushing Curry to the bench. The sharpshooter is expected to play against the Knicks, though it would not come as a shock if he receives the day off as the Hornets look toward the regular season with only one remaining preseason game after Tuesday.

Hornets' LaMelo Ball: Good to go Tuesday
Ball (rest) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Knicks.
Ball will return to action Tuesday after sitting out Charlotte's previous preseason contest for rest purposes. The 23-year-old guard appears healthy heading into the regular season after making just 22 regular-season appearances in 2023-24 before missing the remainder of the campaign with an ankle injury.

Hornets' Vasilije Micic: Back to bench Tuesday
Micic will return back to the bench for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Knicks.
With LaMelo Ball (rest) returning to action, Micic will be relegated back to the second unit. Although he started in the last preseason game against Memphis, he will continue to split time with Tre Mann as the backup point guard behind Ball.
... See More ... See Less -
Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Receives start vs. Knicks
Salaun will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Knicks.
The rookie will replace Seth Curry in the starting five, marking Salaun's first start of the preseason. The 19-year-old is expected to come off the bench this season, though if injury concerns arise for Josh Green (rest) or Cody Martin (wrist), Salaun will likely see an uptick in playing time.
