Stephenson (groin) took part in Tuesday's practice but remains questionable for Wednesday's opener against the Bucks, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

The update on Stephenson's status comes courtesy of coach Steve Clifford, but the fact that he was able to practice in full Tuesday is certainly a positive indication heading into Wednesday's matchup. A decision likely won't come until Wednesday, so continue to check back for updates prior to game-time. If Stephenson can't go, expect to see a heavy dose of Gary Neal, who turned some heads in the preseason, in the Charlotte backcourt.
