The Charlotte Hornets enter the regular season shorthanded Wednesday, as shooting guards Jeremy Lamb and Troy Daniels are out of action.
Lamb is dealing with an ankle problem and Daniels a hamstring injury.
Acquired in the summer, Lamb still has upside despite a lackluster season with the Oklahoma City Thunder last year. He's closer to returning than Daniels, according to the Charlotte Observer's Rick Bonnell.
Daniels got a fair amount of preseason run, and averaged seven points in 11 games last season after being acquired from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
