Coby White set for season debut with Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte Hornets starting point guard Coby White is scheduled to make his season debut on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. White has missed the first seven games of the season due to a left calf strain sustained during training camp.

Hornets head coach Charles Lee stated that the team will be mindful of White’s minutes to maximize his availability for the regular season, noting he is expected to play under a minutes restriction. The Hornets currently hold a 3-4 record, having recently suffered a three-game losing streak.

In White’s absence, Dennis Schroder has served as the starting point guard. The Hornets are also awaiting the return of second-year wing Kon Knueppel, who is recovering from a hamstring injury.
