The Hornets closed their 2016 preseason slate with a 109-74 loss on Oct. 21 in Minnesota led by 10 points from Marco Belinelli in his first start in a Hornets uniform. With veterans Nicolas Batum and Spencer Hawes resting in the final preseason game and Marvin Williams (finger), Cody Zeller (knee) and Brian Roberts (hamstring) all sidelined with injuries, Head Coach Steve Clifford opted to give some players deeper on the bench extended minutes with no starter playing more than 18 minutes and four seconds (Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) in the loss.
