The Charlotte Hornets have announced their injury report ahead of the road game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks have confirmed their player availability, with rookie Cooper Flagg set to play. He will return after missing the previous game against Minnesota due to managing a left ankle injury.
Injury Updates for Hornets vs. Mavericks
The Hornets are facing challenges with their lineup. Mason Plumlee will remain out as he recovers from groin surgery. Grant Williams, who recently returned following a lengthy absence, will also be sidelined due to right knee injury management.
Injury Report Summary
- Mason Plumlee: Out (Right groin surgery)
- Grant Williams: Out (Right knee injury management)
- Brandon Miller: Probable (Left ankle impingement)
- Cooper Flagg: Available (Returned from left ankle management)
Brandon Miller is expected to play despite being listed as probable with a left ankle impingement. His participation could be key for the Hornets’ efforts on the court.
Mavericks’ Key Players Out
While Flagg’s return is a boost for the Mavericks, they will still be without several important players:
- Anthony Davis: Left finger sprain
- Kyrie Irving: Recovering from left knee surgery
- Dereck Lively II: Right foot surgery
- Danté Exum: Right knee surgery
- Naji Marshall: Rest
The absence of these players leaves Dallas shorthanded as they approach this crucial matchup.
