Nicolas Batum will not have a minutes limit Friday for Hornets
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (knee) and center Cody Zeller (illness) will not have a minutes limit against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.
What It Means:
Batum will likely be relied on heavily with the Hornets missing Jeremy Lamb and being losers of three straight games. Zeller was playing minutes in the mid 20s before getting knocked out with an illness, so his return will only lessen Spencer Hawes and Roy Hibbert's minutes.
Batum is averaging a career-best 15.1 points and 5.8 assists to go with 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals over 34.5 minutes per game. He owns a career-worst .468 effective field goal percentage and his nERD of 0.2 ranks 133rd.
