Hornets Face Injury Challenges in Home Opener

The Charlotte Hornets are dealing with early-season injuries as they prepare for their home opener against the Miami Heat. Josh Green, who missed the season opener due to Achilles soreness, is set to make his debut against Atlanta, coming off the bench with Cody Martin in the starting lineup. Key player LaMelo Ball is questionable due to a tailbone contusion after setting a personal best with nine three-pointers against Atlanta. Cody Martin and Seth Curry are also listed as questionable, while starting center Mark Williams is out with a foot injury, and Brandon Miller will miss at least a week due to a hip issue. Despite these setbacks, the Hornets aim to secure their first win of the season. This game follows Josh Green's acquisition in a historic six-team trade earlier this year.
