Gordon Hayward will miss at least four weeks with a right foot sprain, the Hornets announced.
Hayward suffered the ailment during the game against the Pacers on Friday.
“We had a number of guys out. We had scoring out,” coach James Borrego said after the game (via ESPN). “But this team just continues to fight and figure it out.”
Charlotte is also without LaMelo Ball, who is likely to miss the remainder of the season with a wrist injury, and Malik Monk, who has a sprained ankle.
