Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel left Friday's game against the Orlando Magic with a right ankle sprain and did not return.
Knueppel, who is listed as day-to-day, won't play tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Forward Grant Williams (right knee) and centers Ryan Kalkbrenner (left elbow sprain) and Mason Plumlee (right groin strain) are also out. Guard Sion James is questionable with an illness.
Head coach Charles Lee said guards Tre Mann and Josh Green could see more minutes due to Knueppel's absence.
"We'll see what we do to kind of get creative and piece together with some things," Lee said.

Lee has been impressed with Charlotte's depth this season and said his players know what is expected of them on both ends of the court.
"They know where they need to be on the court offensively," he said. "Defensively, a lot of our schemes kind of stay the same. Maybe you switch a little more because you have a lot of like-sized guys."
Knueppel has been a Rookie of the Year contender in his first NBA season. He's averaging 19.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists. He's shooting 47% from the field, 42% from three and 89% from the line in 31 games.
Charlotte has dealt with key injuries all season. Guard LaMelo Ball and forward Brandon Miller have both missed large chunks of this season. The team recently signed G-League center PJ Hall to a two-way contract after losing Kalkbrenner and Plumlee.
The Hornets face the Bucks in Charlotte tonight at 7 p.m.
