As per tradition, the Charlotte Hornets have been hit hard by injuries this season. Julyan Stone, the Hornets’ third-string point guard, suffered an injury to his left hamstring and depleted the Hornets’ depth in the process. That’s no fault of his, but it’s a reality we must deal with.
Stone wasn’t expected to play much this season—he was the backup point guard’s backup, insurance in case something went horribly wrong. And horribly wrong things have gone.
So wrong, in fact, that the Hornets called Marcus Paige up to Milwaukee for tonight’s game against the Bucks.
