LaMelo got injured in the #Hornets preseason loss to Washington and didn’t return.
“It’s just tough seeing your brother go down like that,” Terry Rozier said. “Especially the franchise, a big part of this team.”

The Nets have hired former Hornets and Pistons GM Jeff Bower in a scouting role, league sources say.
Bower joins Brooklyn after a stint in the Suns’ front office, which ended after Phoenix’s trip to the NBA Finals in 2020-21.

Thought Duane Washington Jr. looked good. Important to see the on-ball defense and picking out of passes. A good base to build off for a young player given the shooter and scorer he is. – 9:52 PM

Wes Unseld Jr. said he doesn’t think Porzingis’s left ankle sprain will be too bad. Said Porzingis was ready to come in for the second half but no need to push in preseason.
“Just a quick ankle twist, nothing severe.” – 9:42 PM

Several Wizards players — Rui Hachimura, Kristaps Porziņģis and Daniel Gafford — had good stat lines tonight, but it’s tough to put much stock in preseason numbers. What really matters in the preseason is to avoid injuries, and Porziņģis’ ankle sprain should be top of mind. – 9:32 PM
