Ryan Kalkbrenner will miss his 10th consecutive game due to an ongoing elbow injury, sidelining him for Thursday’s matchup against the Pacers. The Hornets will rely on Moussa Diabate to step up in Kalkbrenner’s absence, as the team looks to improve its 13-24 record. Kalkbrenner has been averaging 8.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game this season before the injury.
