Graham was recalled from the G League on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Graham joined the Greensboro Swarm for their outing against the Red Claws on Wednesday, and it was a tough night shooting the ball for the point guard. Graham went just 1-of-7 from three and 3-of-14 from the field overall en route to scoring 13 in a losing effort. He'll now rejoin his Charlotte teammates for practice Friday.

Graham will rejoin the Greensboro Swarm for the time being after playing 11 minutes in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks. Across seven games in the G League this season, Graham is averaging 22.4 points, 5.6 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 33.2 minutes per game.

The Hornets recalled Graham from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing his playing time drop in four consecutive games, Graham was sent back to the G League on Monday to pick up some much-needed minutes. He suited up in the Swarm's 121-96 loss to the Canton Charge and recorded five points (2-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 27 minutes. Though he'll be back with the Hornets in advance of Wednesday's game in Memphis, he could find himself outside of the rotation with Kemba Walker, Jeremy Lamb, Tony Parker and Malik Monk seemingly locked in as Charlotte's top four guards.

Graham was sent to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graham enjoyed an extended run with Charlotte, even playing over 20 minutes per game from a stretch in late December and early January with a few starts sprinkled in. However, with his playing time waning as of late, he'll head back to the G League to get some more playing time. The Hornets are back in Charlotte next week Monday, so Graham could hypothetically return to add depth at that point.

Graham (ankle) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was questionable heading into Friday's game against Portland due to a right ankle injury, but he was able to play and put in seven minutes of action. He seems to be over the injury and will take the floor again Saturday.

Graham (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Graham suffered a right ankle sprain in Tuesday's loss to the Clippers and did not return. The rookie's status for Friday's contest will likely be dependent on his participation in shootaround, so look for an update on Graham at some point Friday morning.

Graham tallied eight points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes in the Hornets' 119-113 win over the Suns on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Graham drew a second straight start at two-guard for Jeremy Lamb (hamstring), but he ended up logging his lowest amount of playing time over the last five games overall. The 23-year-old rookie had posted four straight double-digit scoring efforts heading into Sunday, so he's experienced a nice short-term uptick in production of late that's been aided by multiple threes in four consecutive games. If Lamb is forced to miss Tuesday's game versus the Clippers, it's certainly possible that Graham draws another turn with the first unit, although whether his minutes would once again be limited remains to be seen.

Graham will start at shooting guard Saturday in Denver, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) ruled out for a second straight game, Graham is expected to draw the overwhelming share of the playing time alongside point guard Kemba Walker. While Lamb sat out Wednesday in the Hornets' 122-84 loss to the Mavericks, Graham played 34 minutes and finished with 10 points (3-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound. It was the third consecutive double-digit scoring performance for the second-round rookie out of Kansas.

Graham will start Wednesday against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
As coach James Borrego alluded to following Tuesday's practice, Graham will start at shooting guard in the absence of Jeremy Lamb (hamstring). The 34th overall pick out of Kansas in the 2018 Draft, Graham has made an impact over the past two games, averaging 10.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals. If he can continue the solid play, the rookie may earn himself a more concrete role even once Lamb returns, especially with Malik Monk still struggling to find a rhythm.

Coach James Borrego suggested after Tuesday's practice that he's leaning toward using Graham in the starting five Wednesday against the Mavericks in place of Jeremy Lamb (hamstring), Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lamb sustained a right hamstring strain in Monday's win over the Magic and was unavailable for the second half, resulting in Graham working with the top unit coming out of the break. The second-round rookie impressed across 24 minutes, tallying 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and three steals. Lamb remains doubtful to return Wednesday after failing to practice Tuesday or complete Wednesday's shootaround, so Graham should be in store for another 20-plus-minute workload on the wing. Malik Monk will also benefit from an uptick in playing time if Lamb is in fact sidelined.
