Graham (kneecap) will have a minutes restriction during his first several games back on the court, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Graham is probable for Thursday's matchup after missing seven games due to left knee patellofemoral discomfort. While he's likely to return to the court, coach James Borrego said that he'll have limited minutes following his lengthy absence. Borrego also noted that LaMelo Ball will remain in the starting five, so it's possible Graham could be looking at a bench role going forward, unless Borrego opts for a three-guard look.
