5 years agoCharlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Nicolas Batum has been ruled out for Tuesday’s contest versus the Sacramento Kings due to left hand discomfort. Batum had been upgraded to questionable earlier in the day, but the team has ultimately decided to hold him back. Without him in the rotation, both Malik Monk and Cody Martin should continue to see minutes off the bench, although neither can be relied upon empirically for significant contributions. Batum’s next chance at taking the floor comes Wednesday against Cleveland.--Jesse Borek
