Guard Devonte Graham will miss Sunday’s Charlotte Hornets game against the Washington Wizards with a groin strain.
That likely assures another start for rookie LaMelo Ball, who had a career-high 34 points in Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz.
The Hornets’ injury report Saturday listed Graham as out. Graham started the Hornets’ first 22 games this season.
However, forward-center P.J. Washington is listed as questionable after missing the last two games with a sprained right foot. Washington suffered that injury Monday against the Miami Heat. He recovered to a point that he did some on-court shooting and dribbling before Friday’s game.
