Impact Despite not appearing on the injury report all day, Smith is now in danger of missing Friday's contest due to a non-COVID illness. However, the 20-year-old forward's potential absence shouldn't significantly impact Charlotte's rotation.

Impact Bridges hyperextended his knee in Wednesday's win over Detroit, though MRI results revealed a bone bruise that will sideline him for an extended period of time. In the 26-year-old forward's absence, Grant Williams (back) and Tidjane Salaun are candidates for an increased role in the frontcourt.

Tre Mann - Quiet performance Wednesday Mann amassed four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 win over Detroit.
Impact Mann struggled to get anything going offensively, scoring season-low four points. Prior to Wednesday, he had scored double-digits in seven consecutive games, providing the Hornets with a reliable scoring punch off the bench. Although this was a poor performance, look for Mann to bounce back in what could be a high-scoring encounter against the Pacers on Friday.

Brandon Miller - Hits game-winner Wednesday Miller ended with 19 points (6-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 victory over the Pistons.
Impact Miller capped off a solid performance, converting a put-back layup as time expired to give the Hornets a one-point victory. After a hip injury cost Miller four of the first five games of the season, he has been able to cobble together three encouraging performances. His numbers remain a little underwhelming but the hope is that as he spends more time on the court with LaMelo Ball, the two will be able to lead the Hornets into the future.

Miles Bridges - Leads all scorers in victory Bridges (knee) closed with 27 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 win over the Pistons.
Impact Bridges finally found some rhythm on the offensive end, matching his season-high with 27 points. It was a welcome sight after he had shot poorly in each of the four previous games, logging a grand total of just 37 points in that span. Bridges appeared to suffer a hyperextended knee late in the game but was able to return. However, it is something to keep an eye on moving forward, just in case it causes him to pop up on the injury report.
