Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum has officially been ruled out for Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs due to a hyperextended right knee.
Batum is expected to miss 1-2 weeks with the injury and he will likely be listed as "day-to-day" during the recovery. Marco Belinelli and Jeremy Lamb should benefit the most during Batum's absence.
Batum is having a strong year, averaging career-highs in points (15.1) and assists (5.8), to go with 7.4 rebounds, in 34.5 minutes per game. He owns a 0.3 nERD on the season, ranking 127th in the NBA.
