Simpson (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Simpson was deemed probable for this contest due to a shoulder issue, but the second-year floor general will be able to suit up. He's buried on the depth chart, however, so he isn't likely to see many minutes. He's been limited to just five appearances and 14.4 minutes per contest so far in 2025-26.

Simpson (shoulder) is probable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
A left AC joint sprain continues to plague Simpson, though the issue shouldn't keep him out Saturday. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) set to take a seat against Oklahoma City, Simpson is in line to at least be part of the rotation. The two-way player has averaged 5.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 14.4 minutes per game over five games this season, shooting just 37.5 percent from the floor.

Simpson generated 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, three rebounds and three steals over 29 minutes of Friday's 111-105 Summer League win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Simpson was one of three Hornets players to hit the 20-point threshold, joining Liam McNeeley and Tijane Salaun in the 20-point club. Simpson made just 25.4 percent of his three-point attempts with the Hornets last season, but he was firing on all cylinders from beyond the arc Friday. Entering the second and final year of his two-year, two-way contract, Simpson will need to prove he's worth keeping around.
