Tony Parker To Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker will be sidelined for Wednesday’s outing against the Dallas Mavericks due to a back strain.

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Jerami Grant logged his third double-double of 2018-19 during Tuesday’s win over the Orlando Magic with 19 points and 11 rebounds to his credit across 35 minutes.
