Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Suspended four games
Diabate was suspended four games for his altercation during Monday's game against Detroit, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Miles Bridges was also suspended for four games, with both players eligible to return Feb. 24 against the Bulls. In Diabate's absence, Ryan Kalkbrenner will likely be asked to step into the starting role, and he'll offer a lot of upside in fantasy for the short term.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Booted from Monday's contest
Diabate was ejected during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Pistons, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports. He'll exit with no points (0-1 FG) and six rebounds over 19 minutes.
Diabate was involved in a heated altercation at the 7:09 mark of the third quarter that also included teammate Miles Bridges and opponents Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart, with all four players ejected. It remains to be seen whether additional discipline will follow, but for the remainder of Monday's game, Ryan Kalkbrenner will take on increased responsibilities at center.

Diabate accumulated 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 win over the Hawks.
Diabate recorded his third double-double in the past six games, helping Charlotte to its ninth straight victory. While his defensive contributions have subsided in recent times, Diabate's play over the past two weeks has played a key role in the team's success.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Not playing Saturday
Diabate (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Diabate popped up on Friday's injury report due to right hamstring soreness. The injury will prevent him from playing Saturday, but he could return for the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back set Sunday against the Nuggets. With Diabate sidelined, Ryan Kalkbrenner will likely enter the Hornets' starting five, while Grant Williams and PJ Hall are candidates to see extended minutes as well.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Questionable for Saturday
Diabate is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring soreness.
The hamstring issue is a new concern for Diabate, who has been a regular on the injury report so far this month due to hip and wrist injuries. If the big man is not cleared to play in the front end of this back-to-back set, Ryan Kalkbrenner would likely step into the starting five, while PJ Hall could enter the Charlotte rotation.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Handed questionable tag
Diabate is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to right hip soreness.
Diabate popped up on the Hornets' injury report with a hip injury. The center has started in both games since Ryan Kalkbrenner returned from a prolonged absence, and Diabate is averaging 9.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 blocks across 30.6 minutes per game in January.

Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Logs impressive 13/15 line
Diabate closed with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 117-109 loss to the Clippers.
Diabate was an excellent bright spot during the loss, as the 2025 second-round pick continued to hold onto the starting role despite Ryan Kalkbrenner's return. Kalkbrenner scored only two points over 13 minutes during the loss, and while it may be the team's intent to bring Kalkbrenner back slowly, Diabate is definitely making a case for more time at the five. He logged a solid 8.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 blocks during Kalkbrenner's seven-game absence.
