Hawes (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

Hawes is dealing with a right ankle sprain. The injury doesn't appear to be serious at this time, and he shouldn't miss any extended periods of play. With Cody Zeller questionable for Friday's game, it is likely that Hawes will play to supplement the Hornets' frontcourt.
