Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum could be out for nearly a month after suffering a fractured finger, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
Batum got injured in the season opener against the Chicago Bulls, reportedly fracturing his left middle finger. It's a tough blow for the Hornets, who will now have to turn to younger players to pick up the slack. PJ Washington would be a candidate for more minutes.
In 11 minutes on Wednesday, Batum didn't take a field goal, picking up four rebounds and two assists while scoring 5.8 FanDuel points.
