Hornets' Nicolas Batum: Will not return Thursday vs. Pistons

Batum won't return to Thursday's game against the Pistons due to a hyperextended right knee.

Analysis:

Batum fell hard on the floor and hobbled to the bench afterward, and after being examined by team doctors, it was determined that he would be sidelined for the remainder of the night. He'll finish with nine points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3PT, 7-7 FT), five assists and four rebounds across 25 minutes. Look for the Hornets to provide an update on the extent of his injury prior to Saturday's game against the Spurs.
