After coming down hard on another player’s ankle in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss against the Brooklyn Nets, Charlotte Hornets head coach James Borrego announced Malik Monk had suffered an ankle sprain and will be reevaluated in two weeks.
Borrego seems to have made the announcement during his pre-game media availability. He added that Brad Wanamaker is likely to see an uptick in minutes in Monk’s absence, with Caleb and Cody Martin also becoming more crucial parts of the rotation. As one of the world’s biggest Grant Riller fans, I’m going to use this space to advocate for giving him a crack at it, too.
