Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (migraine) will play Saturday against the Washington Wizards, head coach Steve Clifford said.
Batum had missed two games dealing with painful migraines. However, he had a CT scan of his brain on Wednesday which came back negative and apparently Batum will be able to suit up Saturday night. This is unexpectedly good news for Batum owners, as it was unknown when Batum would be cleared to return. At this point, there has not been an indication of whether or not Batum will have any minutes restriction on Saturday. Jeremy Lamb will get bumped back to the bench.
If Batum does indeed play, our algorithms project him for 15.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.9 assists on 34.9 minutes.
