Nicolas Batum

SG, Charlotte Hornets

Nic Batum left the game with a sore right Achilles after only mustering two rebounds across 12 minutes on Wednesday night.

With the Hornets already signaling that they are looking to develop youth this season, this is a less-than-ideal start for Batum. If this injury lingers, which is likely, expect Dwayne Bacon and Malik Monk to see a bump in playing time.
