The Charlotte Hornets got their 13th consecutive victory over the Orlando Magic Monday, but at a potentially significant cost.
Two starters were injured in the 125-100 victory at Spectrum Center: First, shooting guard Jeremy Lamb left in the first half with a right hamstring strain and didn’t return. Then, in the third quarter, center Cody Zeller left to have his right hand x-rayed. That examination confirmed Zeller has a broken hand.
It’s unclear how long either could miss, but Zeller’s injury could be problematic, since that is his shooting hand. Zeller has started 35 of 36 games this season.
