Moussa Diabaté is set to start for the Hornets in Tuesday’s game against the Wizards, filling in for the injured Ryan Kalkbrenner and Mason Plumlee. As the sole true center available, Diabaté is expected to see significant playing time, with Tidjane Salaun poised to provide support in smaller lineup configurations from the bench. This offers Diabaté a prime opportunity to showcase his skills in an expanded role.
