With Malik Monk (right ankle sprain) added to the injury list following Thursday’s loss in Brooklyn, the Hornets then lost Gordon Hayward (right foot sprain) midway through their 114-97 win in Indiana the following evening. Charlotte’s bench made a resounding response to the adversity, racking up 55 points, with all but two coming from Miles Bridges, Cody Zeller and Brad Wanamaker. It was later revealed on Saturday afternoon that Hayward would be reevaluated in four weeks, providing another significant blow to a rotation that is already being stretched fairly thin. Look for Bridges, Cody Martin, Caleb Martin and Jalen McDaniels to soak up Hayward’s minutes while he’s sidelined.
