How to watch: You don’t
139 days after their 2020-21 season ended in brutal fashion against the Indiana Pacers, the Hornets are back in action, even though it is just preseason action. We’ll get to see a bulkier and more matured LaMelo Ball, a healthy Gordon Hayward, and all of the rest of the usual cast of characters.

I don’t expect either absence to be significant or prolonged, but neither Jalen McDaniels nor DJ Carton will suit up for the Hornets tonight.
