Hornets' Cody Zeller: Out Tuesday vs. Trail Blazers

Zeller (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Tuesday's tilt with the Trail Blazers, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

Analysis:

Zeller will miss his fourth straight contest due to the right quad contusion, and since he has yet to put in a full practice, it seems unlikely that he'll be able to play in the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday against the Warriors either. Roy Hibbert should continue starting at center in Zeller's place, though Spencer Hawes has typically been seeing the bulk of the time at the position in recent games.
