The Hornets announced Monday that Mann (back) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Mann has been sidelined since Nov. 21 due to lower back soreness diagnosed as disc irritation. He has begun light court work and returned to weight room activities, so the good news for Charlotte is that he's progressing in the right direction. Based on this timetable, the earliest Mann will likely return is Jan. 3 against Detroit.

Hornets' Tre Mann: To be re-evaluated in two weeks
Rotowire
Mann (back) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Hawks and is expected to be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Mann's absence will mark his fifth straight due to lower back soreness diagnosed as disc irritation. He will continue rehabilitation and is unlikely to return until Dec. 19 against the Wizards at the earliest following the NBA's in-season tournament. It is poor timing for the backup point guard, as starter LaMelo Ball (calf) is also expected to be sidelined during the same time period, which means it is a missed opportunity for increased playing time. As a result, Brandon Miller, Seth Curry, Vasilije Micic, Nick Smith and Cody Martin are the backcourt candidates for Charlotte going forward.
