It appears Charlotte Hornets rookie Devonte Graham will avoid knee surgery.
Graham consulted with specialists after a cartilage injury was detected in his right knee earlier this month. The plan, for now, is for Graham to resume basketball activity on a conservative schedule, rather than have a procedure, a team spokesman said Tuesday.
Hornets training camp will be in late September in Chapel HIll.
The Hornets announced July 11, three games into Las Vegas summer league, that Graham would miss the rest of that event after an initial diagnosis of a “condylar lesion” in his right knee.
