Rather than spinning the current, top hip hop tunes along with some rap classics during the Charlotte Hornets’ outing against San Antonio, he could have easily played something more in line with the home team’s injury woes. Anything that makes for a good game of musical chairs would have sufficed.

Once again, on a night they welcomed Brandon Miller into the fold following a two-game injury absence, they still were shorthanded because their reserve center thrust into the starting lineup due to Mark Williams’ back problems — Nick Richards — joined the Hornets’ sprained ankle crew, keeping him out of their 124-120 win over the Victor Wembanyama-less Spurs at Spectrum Center.
