Questionable Friday Oubre is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Oubre was dominant in Wednesday's blowout win over the Pacers with a season-high 39 points in addition to five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes. However, he apparently sustained an ankle injury during the victory. If the 26-year-old is unavailable against the Lakers, Miles Bridges and Cody Martin should handle additional run.

Makes it rain, joins history Oubre finished with 39 points (12-18 FG, 10-15 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 158-126 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Oubre joins JR Smith, Danilo Gallinari and Donyell Marshall as the only players in NBA history to record 10 threes off the bench in a game. The Pacers' couldn't defend the perimeter -- or any part of the court for that matter -- and allowed the Hornets' to achieve a league-wide scoring high sampling the past two seasons. Oubre has another plus-matchup on deck versus the Lakers on Friday.

Deemed questionable for Wednesday The Hornets list Oubre (COVID-19 protocols) as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Oubre has been out for the Hornets' past four games, but he appears to be on the cusp of exiting the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Prior to being sidelined, Oubre had averaged 18.0 points in 24.3 minutes per game over his last seven appearances, but he could see his playing time and usage on the second unit trend down now that the Hornets are back at full strength.
