Alexis Ajinca: (Hamstring) Out 4-6 Weeks

Ajinca will miss four-to-six weeks due to a right hamstring strain suffered in Saturday's preseason game against the Pacers.

Analysis:

Ajinca entered training camp still suffering from an Achilles tendon issue, and now he's compounded that ailment by adding a hamstring injury into the mix. He'll now miss an extended period of time as a result of the setback, depriving the Hornets of their expected top backup behind starting center Omer Asik. Kendrick Perkins is now expected to move up the depth chart to assume Ajinca's spot in the rotation.
