Report: Nicolas Batum to undergo CT scan to find source of 'excruciating' migraine headaches

Veteran forward Nicolas Batum will undergo a CT scan on Wednesday in the hopes of determining the cause of the Charlotte Hornets’ recent stretch of migraine headaches. The 28-year old has missed the last Hornets contest, a home loss to Chicago on Monday evening.

The source said the migraines were described as “excruciating” and that it’s “a scary period” for Batum, a nine-year veteran.

Batum has no past history with migraines.

With a return date as yet unspecified, the Hornets will struggle to fill Batum’s role in spite of a preponderance of Nicolas Batum-types.
