Hornets' Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) is not with the team and will not play Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) will not play on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs.

What It Means:

The team didn't specify a reason, but Kidd-Gilchrist also missed three games at the beginning of the season to be his family following his grandmother passing away. Dwayne Bacon will likely start in his place on Friday against the Spurs.

Over five games played, Kidd-Gilchrist is averaging 6.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 18.8 minutes a game.
