Hornets' Miles Plumlee: Ruled out Thursday

Plumlee (calf) won't play Thursday against the Pistons.

Analysis:

Plumlee strained his right calf Feb. 13 against the 76ers and sat out the Hornets' final game before the All-Star break Wednesday against the Raptors. Even with a full week off to rest, Plumlee is still dealing with discomfort and should be considered questionable on a game-to-game basis going forward. With Cody Zeller (quad) also out Thursday, expect Frank Kaminsky to start at center and see heavy minutes.
