Coby White headlines Hornets injury report vs. Celtics

The Charlotte Hornets are on the road on Tuesday night as they travel to take on the Boston Celtics in an Eastern Conference showdown.

For the Hornets, they enter Tuesday’s game with a 43-36 record after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road on Sunday night.

With Sunday’s victory, Charlotte has now won four consecutive games and they will try to extend their winning streak on Tuesday as they face off against the Celtics in a tough road matchup.

Of course, the Hornets sit only half of a game behind the Toronto Raptors for the sixth seed in the East and only two games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the fifth seed.

Because of this, Charlotte will now try to pick up a key victory over Boston in Tuesday night’s matchup to work their way up the East standings, though they may be without one of their key backcourt players.

Hornets list Coby White as probable for Tuesday’s game vs. Celtics

For the Hornets, they have two players listed on their injury report for Tuesday’s game, including guard Coby White.

Charlotte has listed White as probable and he is expected to play despite dealing with left groin soreness.

Of course, White has played a key role off the bench for the Hornets since they acquired him from the Chicago Bulls at the trade deadline as he is averaging 15.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game over 19 games in Charlotte.

The only other player listed on the Hornets’ injury report is PJ Hall, who they have ruled out due to a fractured right ankle.

Fans can catch Tuesday night’s matchup between the Hornets and Celtics from Boston at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
