McNeeley

Neither player’s status affects fantasy basketball, but Connaughton could slide into the back end of the Hornets’ rotation. That was unlikely to be the case for McNeeley.

McNeeley is a late addition to the Hornets’ injury report. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, as the rookie has been out of the rotation for most of the season.

While McNeeley is available to appear in an NBA game for the first time since late January, the rookie has not been part of the Hornets’ rotation when healthy.

Salaün and McNeeley’s continued absences do not affect fantasy basketball, as neither has been a consistent member of the Hornets’ rotation when healthy. Both should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

McNeeley continues to miss time with a sprained left ankle. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he has not logged consistent rotation minutes when healthy.

McNeeley is recovering from a sprained left ankle. As the lone member of Charlotte’s four-player 2025 draft class not to have cracked the rotation, his absence does not affect fantasy basketball.

McNeeley enjoyed his best outing of the season on Sunday, recording new highs in points and three-pointers. The rookie wing hit three triples in the first half, giving the Hornets a welcome spark off the bench. Unfortunately, McNeeley suffered a left quad contusion during the second half, spending some time on the sideline with a heating pad on his thigh. The Hornets won’t play again until Friday; hopefully, that’s enough time for McNeeley to get back to full strength.

Mann will miss a fourth straight game on Sunday, which means more minutes are available to KJ Simpson and Liam McNeeley. However, neither has done enough to merit being rostered.
