The Charlotte Hornets host the Milwaukee Bucks Sunday, Oct. 11 for their second preseason game of the 2026-27 season. In their opener, Charlotte played shorthanded against the Brooklyn Nets, leading to a lopsided defeat. Liam McNeeley led the Hornets in scoring against Brooklyn, with both Grayson Allen and Naz Reid chipping in 13 points during the first half. This will be Charlotte's final preseason game at the Spectrum Center, as their last two preseason matchups will be played in Boston against the Celtics and in Memphis against the Grizzlies.
Like Tuesday's game, the Hornets are expected to be without multiple contributors, including Kon Knueppel, Coby White and Grant Williams.
