Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Limited role continues Friday
Moussa Diabate closed Friday's 108-97 loss to the Raptors with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and one block in 13 minutes.Diabate managed just 13 minutes in the loss, having exceeded that mark only twice in the past 10 games. At this point, he needs either Jusuf Nurkic or Mark Williams to be sidelined to have any chance of playing a meaningful role. With a back-to-back slated in the coming days, there is a chance that it could come to fruition, at least for one of the two games.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Injures knee Tuesday
Moussa Diabate sustained an apparent right knee injury during the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.Diabate went down under the basket after contesting a layup, and he appeared to grab at his right knee before being helped off the court with 3:58 remaining in the period. The big man is unlikely to return during the final minutes of the game, and he can be considered questionable at best for Thursday's matchup against the Knicks. He posted two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two blocks in 18 minutes prior to exiting.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Posts double-double in spot start
Moussa Diabate totaled 16 points (8-12 FG), 15 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 105-102 win over the Nets.With Jusuf Nurkic (neck) and Mark Williams (foot) sidelined Saturday, Diabate submitted his sixth double-double in his eighth start of the year. Diabate has averaged 7.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.4 minutes while shooting 56.3 percent from the field as a starter this season. If both Williams and Nurkic remain out for Monday's game against the Heat, Diabate should continue to have a short-term boost in fantasy value.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Muted role continues
Moussa Diabate recorded six points (3-5 FG), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 11 minutes during Friday's 118-117 loss to Cleveland.Diabate managed just 11 minutes despite the fact Charlotte was without Mark Williams who was sitting out on the first night of a back-to-back. The arrival of Jusuf Nurkic prior to the trade deadline signaled the end for Diabate when it came to playing meaningful minutes. He has now played more than 20 minutes only twice in the past eight games.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Plays well off bench
Moussa Diabate ended Monday's 130-88 loss to the Kings with 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and two steals across 21 minutes.Mark Williams (foot) missed this game for the front end of the back-to-back set, though he's expected back Tuesday. Diabate has shown many times that he can be productive when the minutes are there, but there's a logjam at center now that Jusuf Nurkic is becoming more involved. When the Charlotte Hornets are at full strength, minutes will be hard to come by for Diabate.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Helps fill in for resting Williams
Moussa Diabate (eye) tallied 11 points (3-10 FG, 5-7 FT) and six rebounds across 29 minutes in Thursday's 129-115 loss to the Nuggets.Though Jusuf Nurkic drew the start at center with Mark Williams (conditioning) resting for the second leg of the back-to-back set, Diabate saw the larger share of playing time. So long as head coach Charles Lee sticks with Nurkic as the top backup when Williams plays, Diabate looks like he'll be the odd man out of the rotation, as was the case in Wednesday's 100-97 win over the Lakers. Diabate was available for that contest but didn't play in a coach's decision after he had missed the Charlotte Hornets' final game before the All-Star break on Feb. 12 in Orlando due to a right eye abrasion.
