The Charlotte Hornets are set to receive a significant boost with the return of guard Tre Mann for their NBA Cup game against the Brooklyn Nets. Mann, who was previously questionable due to a back issue, has shown impressive performance this season, averaging 14.5 points, three rebounds, and three assists.

Despite Mann's return, the Hornets will still be missing key players including centers Mark Wiliams and Nick Richards, as well as guard DaQuan Jeffries, due to various injuries.
