The Charlotte Hornets, who have been decimated by injuries to begin the 2026-27 season, recently received an update on starting center Moussa Diabate. Diabate, one of the league's best offensive rebounders and last year's NBA Hustle Award winner, has missed Charlotte's last two games with a quad injury.
Following Wednesday's practice, Charles Lee gave an update on Diabate, saying, "He was able to do some of practice today. It wasn't a ton of contact, but the fact that he's feeling a little bit better and participating in some of these drills shows he's trending in the right direction."
Ahead of Charlotte's upcoming five-game road trip, which begins Thursday against the Phoenix Suns, Diabate is listed as day-to-day. If he were to be sidelined,
Ryan Kalkbrenner would get the start, having posted eight points, 15 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal.
