Buffs in the NBA: Hornets' KJ Simpson to miss entire Summer League

KJ Simpson won't see the court this summer. The former Colorado standout and second-round pick for the Charlotte Hornets suffered a hamstring injury during the pre-draft process. He's expected to miss Summer League to rehab, according to reports.

This is an unfortunate news for Simpson, who was looking to make an impact early in the Queen's City. It's a setback but the team notes the rookie guard is expected to be healthy and available for the start of training camp in the fall.

Simpson was taken 42nd overall after waiting an extra day in the green room.
