6 years agoCharlotte Hornets small/power forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time this season during Wednesday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. With Marvin Williams (shoulder) on the shelf, head coach James Borrego opted for the 25-year-old Kidd-Gilchrist to shift in off the bench.
