Medical team and coaching staff have done a great job with managing injuries and player returns this season

I wanted to acknowledge how good the Hornets medical team along with the coaching staff have been this season at managing injuries and player returns.

Lamelo Ball who has struggled with injuries for most of his career has managed to play 69 games so far this season as compared to 47 games last season and 22 games the 2023-2024 season.

Brandon Miller who struggled with injuries for most of last season and the beginning of this season has played 62 games this season as compared to 27 games last season. Brandon missed 13/15 first games of the season and was still able to make a seamless return, playing well, while managing to stay healthy.

Additionally, when Kon sprained his ankle, I was surprised by him only having to miss one game. And looking at the fact Kon has only missed one game the entire season is impressive on its own.

There are other players they’ve done really well with injury management as well.

I just wanted to acknowledge the good job the coaching staff and medical team have done at managing these players injuries and reintegrating them back into play.

Charlotte Hornets Rooting Guide-April 6, 2026

This is how the Hornets can jump from the 8 seed to the 6 seed and bypass the play-in game.

  1. Win Out

The Hornets have 3 games remaining. To have a realistic shot, they likely need to win all three to finish 46-36. 

* Remaining Schedule: @ Boston Celtics (Apr 7), vs. Detroit Pistons (Apr 10), @ New York Knicks (Apr 12). 

  1. Get Help from Philadelphia (6th Seed)

 

Since the 76ers own the tiebreaker (winning the season series 3-1), the Hornets must finish with at least one more win than them. 

* The Math: If Charlotte wins out (46-36), they need Philadelphia to go 2-2 or worse in their final 4 games.

* Sixers' Remaining Games: @ Spurs, @ Rockets, @ Pacers, vs. Bucks. 

  1. Edge Toronto (pause) (7th Seed)

The Hornets and Raptors split their season series 2-2. Tiebreakers would then go to conference record or division standing. 

* The Math: If Charlotte wins out (46-36), they need Toronto to go 2-2 or worse in their final 4 games.

* Raptors' Remaining Games: vs. Heat (twice), @ Knicks, vs. Nets

What is this feeling?

I have been glued to the NBA the last few weeks like so many of us. I have had this feeling about our team that has eluded us for so long….HOPE!

I feel like 6 is attainable and i worry for whomever we face in the first round that there’s a buzz a coming. What I’ve seen this season from our team has me feeling like I did when i watched Muggsy,Zo, and LJ and then Eddie Jones, Anthony Mason, and the other legends. We have a team that on any given night can shoot any team out of a gym.

I dont know this feeling well, but im stoked for whats on the horizon. Let’s beat the Celtics tomorrow and I can’t wait to trounce Detroit.

Choose one past Hornets player

What one past Hornets player would put this team over the top if you could pull them from the past while they were in their prime and add them to this current team?

I think the easy answer is Alonzo Mourning, for the rim protection and interior scoring.

If you can, try to choose a player no one else has.

Every Play In Teams likely Record

Magic likely win 3 more games with Celtics resting starters. Finish 45-37

Hawks likely win 2 more games finishing 47-35 making them out of reach

Heat likely win 2 more games finishing 43-39

Raptors likely win 2 more games finishing 45-37

76ers likely win 2 more games finishing 45-37

We most likely have to finish 2-1 to have a chance at the 6th seed or at least staying in 8th place.

Some Unlikely Playoff Scenarios

Scenario 1: 6th Seed

- Charlotte wins out next 3 games
- Atlanta goes 2 - 2 in their next 4 (losses to Cavs and Knicks)
- Miami splits their raptors series, losing to the Hawks as well
- Orlando suffers losses to the Pistons & Timberwolves
- Phili falls to Houston and the Spurs
- Toronto loses to the Knicks following the split with the Heat

Scenario 2: 5th Seed (carry over other notes from Scenario 1)
- Possible if Atlanta loses 3 of their 4 remaining games AND Charlotte wins out

Scenario 3: 5th Seed
- If Atlanta loses their remaining 4 games AND Charlotte finishes 2 - 1 (in this scenario the Raptors could go 3 - 1 and we would still have the 5th due to winning our division).

Stephen Curry reveals his favorite memory of his father’s Hornets career

With Dell spending the bulk of his career in Charlotte, Steph had the privilege of being around the team a lot and bearing witness to some incredible moments. Asked to name his favorite involving his father, he didn’t hesitate to cite arguably the greatest moment in the franchise’s 36-season stint in the league: Alonzo Mourning’s buzzer-beating jumper in Game 4 of the first round of the 1993 playoffs against the Boston Celtics.
