Hornets Reveal Long Injury Report Entering Cavaliers Showdown

The Charlotte Hornets will be taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight at home, giving the team a chance to grab a win.

Charlotte is currently on a six-game losing streak, with the team struggling to put together any form of consistency this season. After a hot start, the Hornets have fallen back down to earth, with injuries and poor play hurting the team.

This team hasn't played since Friday, with the Hornets getting blown off the court by the Boston Celtics. The game against Boston was brutal for the Hornets, with Charlotte being outplayed throughout the contest.

Entering the game with Cleveland, the Hornets are dealing with multiple injuries to key players across the roster. Charlotte has a long injury report for the game, with the team missing a few players for the contest.

Star forward Brandon Miller has been ruled out of the game due to a right hip strain. This is a big loss for Charlotte, with Miller being the best player on the roster.

The rest of the guys will have to pick up the slack without Miller, but this could be easier said than done.

Charlotte will also be without forward Kon Knueppel, who aggravated his hamstring injury in his return. Knueppel will now be out for a few weeks, which is a major loss for this Hornets team.

Center Moussa Diabate will be out for this game as well, limiting the center depth of this team against Cleveland. The Hornets will also be without guard Dennis Schroder due to a left hamstring injury, giving them less to work with in the backcourt.

Charlotte will be coming into the game with a record of 3-7 on the season, with the team going 2-4 at home this year. 2026 hasn't been kind to the Hornets yet, but the game against Cleveland does offer them a good chance to prove themselves.

As for the Cavaliers, they will be entering the game with a record of 5-5, with the team having lost its last game. Cleveland has gone 1-3 away from home this season, with Charlotte trying to defend home court tonight.

The Hornets will have a major challenge to overcome tonight, especially with all the injuries along the roster. But this team remains confident, with head coach Charles Lee trying to keep positivity going around the locker room.

The two teams will top-off at 4:00 p.m. PT/7:00 p.m. ET at Spectrum Center in Charlotte.
