No tanking here: Hornets insist it’s not time to ‘just pack it in’ despite injuries, losses

Steve Clifford insists nothing is changing during this final month.

As the injuries keep piling up for the Charlotte Hornets in a lost season that’s mercifully nearing its sad conclusion, the coach vowed they aren’t about to alter their approach.

With five key rotation players missing — Seth Curry, Cody Martin and Nick Richards joined LaMelo Ball and Mark Williams in street clothes Sunday night — their 111-106 loss Toronto at Scotiabank Arena and the uncertainty surrounding when they’ll be seen on the court again, there’s a contingent of people who believe it’s probably best for the Hornets to break it all down and look ahead to June.
