The Charlotte Hornets had a disappointing season in 2021-22. They had a few winning streaks, none longer than five games, but they also had a similar number of slumps. The Hornets were without a key veteran, Gordon Hayward, for 49 of the potential 82 games, which certainly hurt their playoff chances.
Gordon Hayward will miss the play-in tournament for the Hornets due to a foot injury.
