The Hornets recalled McNeeley from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

McNeeley will rejoin the Hornets ahead of their game against the Kings on Tuesday. However, the rookie first-rounder hasn't seen the floor for the parent club since Jan. 28 and isn't guaranteed to play Tuesday.

Krejci (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.

A bruised left calf will cost Krejci a fifth straight contest Monday. With the swingman sidelined, the likes of Scoot Henderson, Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle are each in position for added minutes.

Grant (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

Grant will miss both halves of this back-to-back set due to left foot soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against Milwaukee. With the veteran forward sidelined, Sidy Cissoko, Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray are candidates to see increased playing time.

Williams (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.

The 28-year-old big man is sitting out the second half of Portland's back-to-back set. Yang Hansen was summoned from the G League's Rip City Remix earlier Monday and could enter the rotation behind Donovan Clingan versus Brooklyn. Sidy Cissoko is also a candidate to see increased playing time.

Clowney (wrist) won't play in Monday's game versus Portland, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News.

Monday is set to be a third consecutive absence for Clowney due to a sprained right wrist. Chaney Johnson, E.J. Liddell and Tyson Etienne could all find themselves being more involved for the depleted Nets on Monday.

Claxton (rest) is off the injury report for Monday's game against Portland, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News.

After missing Sunday's loss to the Kings, Claxton is set to return to the court Monday. The rebuilding Nets are beginning to dial back Claxton's workload, with the big man averaging 7.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 21.2 minutes per tilt over his last six games.

Mann will be rested Monday against the Trail Blazers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Mann returned to action Sunday against the Kings and logged 26 minutes with five points, three rebounds and two assists. With this news, Ochai Agbaji and Ziaire Williams could be more involved for the Nets.

Powell won't play in Monday's game versus Portland due to left knee injury management, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News.

The rookie first-rounder is sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back set, and the expectation is that he'll return for Wednesday's tilt against the Warriors. Powell's absence frees up a spot in the starting lineup Monday, with Ochai Agbaji, Malachi Smith and Jalen Wilson being candidates to join the first unit.

Wolf (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Wolf will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set after tweaking his ankle Sunday against the Kings. Josh Minott, Chaney Johnson and E.J. Liddell are candidates to see increased minutes with Wolf on the shelf.

Harris (groin) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

It's a downgrade for Harris, who was originally considered probable to play. If the veteran swingman is ultimately ruled out Monday, the door would be open for Taurean Prince, AJ Green and Cam Thomas to each take on a few extra minutes.
