Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Grabs seven boards in loss
Diabate produced seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT) and seven rebounds in 18 minutes during Friday's 108-98 loss to Philadelphia.
Diabate saw additional playing time with Mark Williams resting on the second night of a back-to-back. After proving his worth as an elite offensive rebounder earlier in the season, Diabate's opportunities are now likely to be few and far between given both Williams and Nick Richards are healthy.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Not on injury report
Diabate (illness) is not on the injury report and is available for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Diabate missed the Hornets' most recent back-to-back set due to an illness, but the big man is set to return to action in this matchup. He's averaging 1.8 points and 8.0 rebounds per contest in his previous 10 appearances while logging 24.1 minutes per game.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Still out Sunday
Diabate (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
An illness will cost Diabate both halves of Charlotte's weekend back-to-back set. He should have plenty of time to recover before attempting to suit up Friday in Chicago. Mark Williams has been limited off the bench since making his season debut, while Nick Richards is nursing an ankle injury, so Taj Gibson is a candidate for playing time in Diabate's absence.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Sitting Saturday
Diabate (illness) won't play Saturday against the Cavaliers.
Diabate was a late addition to the team's injury reports, and he's since been ruled out. Nick Richards (ankle) will also sit Saturday, leaving Mark Williams and Taj Gibson to handle the team's minutes at center.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Added to injury report
Diabate is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to illness.
Diabate wasn't added to the injury report until Saturday morning, so this appears to be a more recent development. The team should have more information on his availability closer to tipoff.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Moves to bench
Diabate isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Diabate will be replaced by Nick Richards in the starting lineup Tuesday. While Diabate is averaging 3.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 23.6 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench, the returns of Richards and Mark Williams could result in significantly decreased playing time for the 22-year-old big man.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Top rebounder in starting lineup
Diabate ended Friday's 99-98 loss to the Knicks with six points (3-4 FG, 0-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 37 minutes.
Diabate paced all Hornets in Friday's contest on the glass, hauling in a team-best rebound total despite failing to reach double figures in scoring in the starting lineup. Diabate got his third starting nod of the year in place of Taj Gibson. In all three of those starts, Diabate has surpassed the double-digit mark in rebounds.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Set to start Friday

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Thrives as defensive presence
Diabate notched two points (1-2 FG), eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 95-84 loss to the Magic.
Diabate is not going to be asked to carry the team offensively, but he should remain in the rotation as long as he gives the Hornets quality minutes on the defensive side of the ball. He's grabbed seven or more rebounds in all but one of his last nine games, a span in which he's averaging 3.7 points, 11.2 boards, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals per contest. He could be a decent streaming option in category-based formats due to his defensive and rebounding contributions, although the impending returns of Miles Bridges (knee), Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (ribs) limits Diabate's upside.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Retreating to bench Monday
Diabate is not in the Hornets' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Magic.
After starting in each of the Hornets' last two games, Diabate will come off the bench Monday while Taj Gibson starts at center. Diabate has logged at least 11 rebounds in six of his last eight outings, and over that span he has averaged 3.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals over 24.8 minutes per game.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Starting vs. Detroit
Diabate is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Miles Bridges (knee) is out for Thursday's contest, meaning Grant Williams will slide to power forward while Diabate will get the nod at center. This will be Diabate's first start of the season. The big man is averaging 4.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game in 10 outings in November.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Dominates offensive glass Saturday
Diabate finished Saturday's 115-114 win over the Bucks with 12 points (6-7 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 25 minutes.
Diabate did most of his damage in the first half of Saturday's contest, grabbing six of his game-high 10 offensive rebounds to help keep the Hornets within striking distance heading into halftime. The 2022 second-round pick has seen a significant increase in playing time off the bench due to Nick Richards being sidelined with a rib fracture, and Diabate should continue to see heavy usage as the first big man off the Hornets' bench. Diabate has grabbed at least 11 rebounds over his last four games, and across that span he has averaged 7.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.3 blocks over 26.8 minutes per game.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Surprising performance Tuesday
Diabate racked up 12 points (6-7 FG), 15 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 114-89 loss to the Magic.
Diabate made the most of his minutes in this defeat against the Magic and showed the two-way impact he can generate when given enough time on the court. Diabate is not expected to see the court regularly, but with Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (ribs) nursing injuries, expect him to see more minutes in the coming days.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Pulls down 15 rebounds
Diabate had zero points (0-1 FG), 15 rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 103-83 win over Indiana.
Diabate missed his lone shot of the game, but he was an imposing presence near the rim, pulling down 15 boards and also rejecting three shots. Diabate doesn't have a lot of fantasy upside and will continue to play a minor role off the bench for the Hornets in most games, but don't rule him out being a potential streaming option in category-based leagues if he can deliver numbers like these on a semi-regular basis.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Plays with energy Friday
Diabate totaled seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Friday's 124-109 loss to the Celtics.
Diabate played a season-high 16 minutes in the loss, providing the team with some much-needed energy following a lackluster first quarter. He was particularly aggressive on the offensive boards, hauling down an impressive six offensive rebounds. As long as the Hornets are banged up, Diabate is someone who should have a somewhat meaningful role, especially if the team continues to start slowly in games.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Joins Charlotte on two-way deal
Diabate and the Hornets agreed to a two-way contract Monday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
The No. 43 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Diabate spent the past two seasons with the Clippers where he made a total of 33 appearances. With the Hornets in the early stages of a rebuild, there is a much bigger path to minutes for Diabate with his new franchise, though he'll likely spend the bulk of his time in the G League early on.

Clippers' Moussa Diabate: Not available Wednesday
Head coach Tyronn Lue said Diabate (hand) will be inactive for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Diabate, a two-way player, is back with the Clippers now that the G League season is over, but it's unclear if he'll be available in a depth role over the remaining two contests of the regular season. He hasn't played at either the NBA or G League level since March 14 due to the hand injury.
