Hornets' Jeremy Lamb makes an early exit with a shin contusion on Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb made an early exit with a shin injury and will not return to Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

What It Means:

Lamb only made it eight minutes into this game before suffering the injury. Look for Dwayne Bacon and Malik Monk to see increased minutes if Lamb is forced to miss any extended time.

Coming into Friday's game, Lamb was averaging 15.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.
