Charlotte's Jeremy Lamb will miss Friday's game

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (foot) will not play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

What It Means:

Nicolas Batum will be back and might have to play some extra minutes with Lamb out. Marco Belinelli will also be in for a boost in minutes off the bench until Lamb is ready to play. However, Lamb is just dealing with inflammation, so he could be back relatively soon.

Lamb is averaging a career-best 9.2 points with 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 17.8 minutes per game. He is shooting just 23.1 percent from downtown, which has contributed to a .475 effective field goal percentage.
