McNeeley (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

McNeeley will miss another game while dealing with a left ankle sprain. He'll need to wait at least until after the All-Star break to return to the court for Charlotte.

McNeeley has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons due to a left ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

McNeeley was recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday, but he's still nursing an ankle injury and isn't ready to play. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hawks, but he's not expected to be included in the rotation if he's available.

McNeeley racked up seven points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and one block over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 97-96 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

With Brandon Miller (knee) getting the night off for the front end of this back-to-back set, McNeeley was able to absorb some minutes Wednesday. He's been used pretty sparingly recently, averaging 10.7 minutes over his last six outings.

The Hornets recalled McNeeley from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

McNeeley joined the Swarm for Saturday's win over the Iowa Wolves, during which he posted 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes. The rookie first-rounder has totaled just seven minutes over two appearances with the parent club since Dec. 12, though he could see a bump in minutes with the Hornets if Kon Knueppel (ankle) is forced to miss time.

Charlotte recalled McNeeley from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McNeeley is coming off a productive stint in the G League. During Sunday's 127-117 G League win over the San Diego Clippers, he produced 22 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 32 minutes. He'll be competing with Josh Green for a rotation spot moving forward.

Charlotte assigned McNeeley to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Hornets are off until Friday, so the franchise is looking to get the rookie some additional reps. In his last three NBA appearances, McNeeley averaged 8.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 19.5 minutes per contest.

McNeeley produced 13 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 115-106 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

McNeeley set a career high in scoring Sunday and has been increasingly involved in Charlotte's rotation. The rookie is averaging 8.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.2 threes made on a 50.0 percent clip across 17.8 minutes in his last five games and will continue to back up Miles Bridges.

McNeeley ended with eight points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Monday's 116-103 loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

McNeeley's eight points matched his career high, highlighting what a struggle it has been thus far during his rookie season. Despite the fact that Charlotte has dealt with multiple injuries, McNeeley has been unable to carve out a meaningful role, averaging 4.3 points in 13.0 minutes per game through his first 15 appearances.

McNeeley (illness) registered three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 131-116 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Back in action after missing the Hornets' previous four games, McNeeley reclaimed a spot in the Charlotte rotation as a backup forward. With Brandon Miller (shoulder) making his return from a 13-game absence of his own, the Hornets are now close to full strength on the wing and at forward, so any pathway McNeeley might have had to see major minutes on a longer-term basis has likely closed. Miller will rest for the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back set Sunday in Atlanta, however, so McNeeley could be in line for a one-game bump in playing time.

Charlotte coach Charles Lee said McNeeley (illness) will be available for Saturday's game against the Clippers, according to Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer.

EDGE Analysis

McNeeley missed the past four games for Charlotte, but he's no longer under the weather. Prior to his illness, McNeeley was starting to carve out a minor role at the edge of the rotation.
