Hornets at Magic: Money on the Floor, January 22, 2026
The Hornets left Williams off their initial injury report Thursday, which suggested he'd be available, but the team has decided ultimately to hold him out of action. More playing time is now open to Sion James and Josh Green in the Charlotte frontcourt rotation.
Mann was available to play in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland but ultimately didn't take the court. His absence Thursday doesn't seem to have an impact on the Charlotte backcourt rotation.
Out
M. Plumlee
Plumlee had missed four consecutive games with a strained right groin before going under the knife. The veteran center will be sidelined until at least mid-February. While he's sidelined, PJ Hall will likely step into the third-string center role behind Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) and Moussa Diabate.
Out
K. Simpson
The Hornets have now ruled Simpson out on both halves of their back-to-back set. The second-year guard's next chance to play comes Saturday against the Wizards, but it's possible Simpson will report back to the G League's Greensboro Swarm when healthy.
