Charlotte may be close to getting a key backcourt piece back in the lineup, as Tre Mann is listed as probable to play Saturday in Detroit, according to the team’s official update.
If he’s cleared, it would mark Mann’s first appearance after missing seven straight games while recovering from a right knee bone bruise.
Mann’s potential return would provide a boost for the Charlotte Hornets, who have been short-handed in recent games and could use his shot creation and scoring punch.
The matchup would come against the Detroit Pistons, making the timing of his availability especially notable as Charlotte looks to stabilize its rotation.
There is still uncertainty elsewhere on the Hornets’ injury report. Pat Connaughton is listed as questionable while dealing with a right calf strain, leaving his status unresolved heading into the weekend.
Meanwhile, Collin Sexton is considered doubtful as he continues to work through a left quad strain, suggesting his absence is likely to continue.
