Charlotte Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) is expected to play against the Boston Celtics on Friday, head coach Steve Clifford said.
Barring any setbacks at Thurday's practice, Kidd-Gilchrist should be good to go on Friday after missing three games for undisclosed reasons. He may be on a minutes limit upon initial return.
numberFire's models project Kidd-Gilchrist to record 10.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.2 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers in 31.1 minutes per game over the remainder of the season.
