• Hornets' Tre Mann: Needs surgery, likely out for 2024-25

  01/31/2025 • By RotoWire

  Mann is expected to require surgery to repair a disc in his back and is likely to miss the rest of the season, Spencer Percy of the "Buzz Beat" podcast reports. The Hornets haven't confirmed that Mann will require a season-ending procedure, but the 23-year-old guard hasn't played since Nov. 21 due to disc irritation, The Hornets have gotten used to playing without the 23-year-old, as he hasn't seen any game action since Nov. 21, and head coach Charles Lee recently acknowledged that Mann was without a timeline for a return. The impending back procedure is an unfortunate development for Mann, who looked poised to handle a big role as the Hornets' sixth man this season following an impressive training camp. Before getting hurt in late November, Mann had gotten off to a solid start to the campaign, averaging 14.1 points, 3.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes per game while shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 40 percent from downtown over 13 appearances. Mann is scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer.

• Hornets' Tre Mann: Facing uncertain return timeline

  01/28/2025 • By RotoWire

  Mann (back) will remain out for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, and head coach Charles Lee suggested Friday that the fourth-year guard is without a timeline for a return, Austin Leake of SI.com reports. "When we came home from the West Coast trip [Jan. 20], our performance staff re-evaluated him and checked in, and Tre was not where he wanted to be; physically he wasn't where our performance team wanted him to be," Lee said. Mann hasn't played since Nov. 21 due to disc irritation, and his return to action doesn't seem to be imminent. Though the Hornets announced Dec. 16 that Mann had resumed light court work and returned to weight-room activities and would be re-evaluated in two weeks, the 23-year-old appears to have hit a snag in his recovery since then. Mann's absence looks as though it could extend into the All-Star break, and possibly longer.
