Hornets' Coby White: Still out Thursday, return date TBD
Rotowire
White (calf) is listed out for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
After the Hornets acquired White at the trade deadline, the team announced that he would be sidelined for the team's final four games before the All-Star break to rest his injured left calf. According to DaShawn Brown of Channel 9 Charlotte, head coach Charles Lee noted after Wednesday's practice that while White has benefited from the recent break and is "trending in the right direction," the seventh-year guard has "no real timeline right now" to make his Hornets debut. With the Hornets opening their post-break schedule with a back-to-back set, White would appear unlikely to be ready to play Friday versus Cleveland. For as long as White remains sidelined, Tre Mann should stick in the rotation as LaMelo Ball's top backup.

Rotowire
White will be held out through the All-Star break in an abundance of caution to help rest his ailing right calf, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports Thursday.

White will miss the next four games for his new team, and with the Hornets coming out of the break with a back-to-back set, there's a chance that White will need to remain on the sidelines for their matchup with the Rockets on Feb. 19. Once healthy, White's fit with Charlotte after the trade deadline will be one to monitor, as LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller are locked into starting roles.

Bulls' Coby White: Poor shooting display in loss
Rotowire
White produced 14 points (2-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Thursday's 116-113 loss to Miami.
White was one of several Chicago players who shot the ball poorly in this contest, but his work from the charity stripe salvaged his fantasy output. White has posted exactly 14 points in back-to-back games while shooting 26.9 percent from the field in those contests. It's a clear regression from his previous stretch of five consecutive appearances with 20 or more points between Jan. 18 and Jan. 26. His long-term fantasy upside lies somewhere between those two stretches.
