Xavier Henry scored 15 points in Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Kings, adding four boards and two turnovers in 28 minutes.

It was his second game in a row playing at least 28 minutes, scoring just six points on Tuesday. He has very little upside since he doesn't take 3-pointers, so he can remain on the waiver wire in almost all leagues.

Xavier Henry started for Al-Farouq Aminu on Friday against the Grizzlies, scoring 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting (including a three) with three rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes.

We need to see a lot more out of Henry, who is an injury risk and hasn't done much in his NBA career. Aminu was a DNP-CD tonight, too, and we can't see that happening going forward.

Monty Williams wants to see more from Xavier Henry in order for him to earn consistent playing time.

"He's at the point in his career where he knows he has to show that he's a pro," Williams said. Henry has appeared in eight games this season, logging just under 12 minutes per game. The former lottery pick is not a fantasy option.

Xavier Henry is unlikely to have a large role in the rotation when the season begins.

Henry was the No. 12 pick in the 2010 draft, but he's had a multitude of injuries that have impacted his development. Now fully healthy following a sprain of his MCL earlier in the preseason, Henry hopes he can make an impression and earn consistent playing time, but he's got to stay healthy to do so.

Xavier Henry (knee) returned to action on Thursday against the Hawks, scoring three points on 1-of-6 shooting with five rebounds and a steal in 24 minutes.

It's a win for Henry to simply get on the court, but if the Hornets end up without Eric Gordon's services for any length of time they'll need Henry's help. He hasn't done enough to warrant much fantasy attention, as his first step is simply not to have a setback.

Xavier Henry (MCL strain) is hopeful that he can return to action on Thursday.

Henry is eager to earn a bigger role in New Orleans' rotation, but he can't do that from the sidelines. "It's been a little frustrating," he said. "But there's no time for me to sit out." His development could prove critical if Eric Gordon (knee) can't stay on the court.

Xavier Henry (knee) returned to a full practice on Sunday.

Henry sat the previous three games due to a sore right knee, but Monty Williams is still unsure of exactly how close Henry is to returning to game action. For that reason, we'll leave him sidelined and the Hornets are hopeful he can get on the court sooner rather than later.
