Corey Maggette (back) did not practice on Thursday, but remains hopeful that he'll be able to play on Friday against the Bucks. Maggette missed Charlotte's last game with the ailment, but it doesn't appear to be overly serious. If he does sit out again, Reggie Williams would likely once again draw the start. Williams had 13 points, six rebounds and a trey in his last start for Maggette.
