Charlotte Hornets point guard Coby White sustained a left calf strain during training camp, causing him to miss the entire NBA preseason. His availability for the start of the regular season was initially uncertain.

By early November, White was scheduled to make his season debut against the Detroit Pistons after missing the first seven games of the season. Head coach Charles Lee indicated that White would play under a minutes restriction to manage his recovery. During his absence, Dennis Schroder served as the starting point guard.
