Mann provided 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Mann scored at least 13 points for the third straight game, continuing to benefit as those around him fall. After a slow start to the season, Mann has stepped things up, averaging 14.0 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes per game over the past four contests. While his offensive output has been encouraging, he offers very little else, making him nothing more than a streaming candidate on low-volume nights.

Mann finished with 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Mann gave the Hornets a lift off the bench, recording a season-high 16 points. Charlotte has yet to settle on a consistent starting shooting guard alongside LaMelo Ball, perhaps keeping Mann in the conversation as a candidate for that spot. That said, Mann may need find a groove before he's seriously considered for the role -- he's averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 0.8 steals per contest while shooting just 31.6 percent from the field over his first six games.

Mann (jaw) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Mann has been dealing with a jaw contusion, which was presumably suffered in Sunday's game against the Wizards. However, it won't keep him off the floor.

Mann is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat due to a jaw contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Mann presumably sustained the jaw contusion in Sunday's win over the Wizards, during which he exited to the locker room following a collision with an opposing player. However, he managed to return, posting zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 12 minutes. If the 24-year-old guard joins Brandon Miller (shoulder) on the sideline, Sion James, Kon Knueppel and Collin Sexton are candidates for increased playing time, while Pat Connaughton could enter the rotation.

Mann (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's game against the Wizards at the start of the second quarter, per the broadcast.

EDGE Analysis

Mann exited to the locker room with 4:21 remaining in the opening quarter following a collision with an opposing player. However, he returned shortly thereafter and will likely be good to go for the remainder of the game.

Mann (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Wizards, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mann collided with an opposing player and headed to the locker room with the training staff. If he's unable to return, Sion James will likely see an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.

Mann finished Wednesday's 136-117 win over Brooklyn with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 21 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Mann was one of eight Hornets to score in double figures during their blowout win over the Nets, and he also finished third on the team in assists behind LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. Charlotte head coach Charles Lee mentioned during training camp that Mann and Collin Sexton will push Kon Knueppel for playing time all season, but the rookie led the trio with 25 minutes and was an Opening Night starter.

Mann (hip) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

Hip soreness became an issue for Mann during the preseason, though he's all set for action against the Nets. The combo guard dealt with a back disc herniation last year, but he was effective when healthy with averages of 14.1 points, 3.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers per contest in 13 games in 2024-25.

Mann (hip) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Mann will miss a second straight game due to hip soreness. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets. Mann is competing with Kon Knueppel and Collin Sexton for a starting spot on the wing.

Mann (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mann continues to deal with hip soreness, which began during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Mavericks. He played only three minutes in that game before being ruled out. There's a chance he has played his last preseason game and may not return to the floor until the regular-season opener against the Nets on Oct. 22.
