The Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets meet Tuesday, March 31 at 7:30 p.m. ET at Barclays Center, and the injury report gives the game a very different look before tipoff. Brooklyn is missing several rotation pieces, while Charlotte’s report is limited to players on G League duty.
Charlotte’s official report lists Tosan Evbuomwan, PJ Hall, Liam McNeeley and Tidjane Salaun as out. None are tied to a game-day injury designation.
The Hornets still bring their main offensive engine into Brooklyn. Kon Knueppel leads Charlotte at 18.9 points per game, Brandon Miller is scoring 20.3, LaMelo Ball is at 19.7 with 7.0 assists, and Miles Bridges adds 17.1 points and 5.8 rebounds a night.
Brooklyn’s report is more consequential. Michael Porter Jr. is out with a left hamstring strain, Terance Mann is out with left Achilles soreness, Egor Demin is out because of left plantar fascia injury management, Day’Ron Sharpe is out after left thumb surgery, and Danny Wolf is out with a left ankle sprain.
The one positive note for Brooklyn is that Jalen Wilson is probable despite an illness. Even so, the Nets will need to adjust without Porter’s 24.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game and without Mann’s 3.0 assists and two-way versatility.
The Nets have already shown they can still compete, coming off a 116-99 win over Sacramento on March 29.
The season series is split, with Charlotte winning the first meeting 136-117 on Oct. 22, 2025, and Brooklyn answering with a 116-103 win on Dec. 1.
