Tre Mann is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Heat due to a jaw injury. Mann has averaged 18.3 minutes per game off the bench this season, and if he sits out, rookie Sion James may see increased playing time. James showed promise in Charlotte’s last game, scoring 13 points and contributing in several areas over 20 minutes of play.

Tre Mann will join the starting lineup alongside Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, LaMelo Ball, and Moussa Diabaté for the Hornets’ matchup against the Thunder on Thursday. Mann, taking the spot over rookie Kon Knueppel, started all 28 games this season after being traded to the Hornets. In the recent preseason opener, he contributed a balanced stat line with seven points, five rebounds, and five assists in 17 minutes, showcasing his versatile playmaking ability.

Tre Mann has been cleared for full basketball activities after recovering from a back injury that sidelined him since late November. Although the Charlotte Hornets had a healthy roster to close the season, Mann’s return introduces competition for backup guard minutes against Collin Sexton. His role early in the season may be limited as he works to regain his form and integrate into the team’s rotation.
