On Oct. 5, Charlotte Hornets guard Nicolas Batum was given a six to eight-week timeline to rejoin the active roster, after it was determined that he had a torn ligament in his left elbow. Batum's recovery is going well and he might be cleared to play soon.

Rumor Central"I'm going to start doing contact one-on-one or 2-on-2 [this week], then maybe 5-on-5 next week," Batum told The Charlotte Observer.

Until Batum is ready to make his 2017-18 regular-season debut, head coach Steve Clifford will continue to use Jeremy Lamb as the starting shooting guard.

"I took my time. Trust me, the last thing I want is to be hurting it again," Batum said. "I'm being totally careful. I won't do anything crazy."

Batum, in the second season of his five-year contract, is still owed $99.1 million through 2020-21.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.

      Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

      You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.

      The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
