The Charlotte Hornets have dealt with plenty of injuries this season. LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Collin Sexton have all missed plenty of games due to injury, while Kon Knueppel and Miles Bridges were injured in back-to-back games for Charlotte.
Ryan Kalkbrenner continues to rehab from an elbow injury, while Charlotte's third center, Mason Plumlee is working toward returning from a groin injury.
Only Sion James and Miles Bridges have yet to miss a game this season due to injury.
With New Year's Eve on the horizon, Charlotte will play an early game Wednesday, facing the Golden State Warriors at 1PM.
As the Warriors head into town, Charlotte's injury report remains quite full.
Kalkbrenner and Plumlee are both listed as out. This will be Kalkbrenner's fifth consecutive game missed as his elbow strain is proving to be pretty serious.
That said, Moussa Diabate has thrived in an extended role with PJ Hall being signed as a backup option.
Additionally, Pat Connaughton has been listed as questionable due to an ankle injury. In danger of missing his first game of the season, Bridges is also questionable with an ankle injury.
Luckily for Charlotte though, Kon Knueppel has been labeled as probable after missing his first game of the season in Charlotte's last game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Following Wednesday's game against the Warriors, the Hornets will head out on a three-game road trip. They'll return to Knueppel's home town of Milwaukee first, before making stops in Chicago and Oklahoma City to face the Bulls and Thunder.
