Hornets take another injury hit after Coby White news

Charlotte Hornets projected starting point guard Coby White suffered a left calf strain during training camp, the team announced Monday. The injury will sideline White for the team's preseason games, with no specific recovery timeline yet confirmed. White previously dealt with recurring calf strains during the prior season, leaving uncertainty over his availability for the regular season.

White's setback adds to an expanding injury list for Charlotte that already includes Kon Knueppel and Grant Williams. If White and Knueppel miss regular-season games, offseason trade acquisitions Dennis Schroder and Grayson Allen are projected to step into starting roles to help navigate the absences.
