As the NBA regular season for the Charlotte Hornets rolls in, one former starter may soon return to the starting lineup. Nicolas Batum could be returning to the team’s starting unit after suffering a minor injury during the preseason.
While Batum is attempting to come back from the Achilles injury that he suffered during the preseason, he may get his chance to return to the starting unit. On Saturday, ClutchPoints reported that Batum could return to Hornets’ opening-night starting lineup.
While this is not set in stone, Batum did tell coach James Borrego that he’d be fine playing with the second unit if Borrego wants to keep PJ Washington, Miles Bridges, and Dwayne Bacon as starters.
