Gordon Hayward (hand) expected back for Hornets Wednesday
Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (right hand contusion) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Hayward is now on track to return from his two-game absence after previously being listed as questionable. Cody Martin will likely move back with the second unit Wednesday and Malik Monk may not have as much opportunity off the bench. There's also potential downticks in usage for Jalen McDaniels, LaMelo Ball, and P.J. Washington.
