The Charlotte Hornets faced another setback as guard DaQuan Jeffries fractured his right fifth metacarpal during a preseason game against the Miami Heat. The team confirmed he will be sidelined indefinitely, with updates to follow.
Jeffries had limited impact in his appearances, contributing minimally in both preseason games. He was part of a three-team trade involving the New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves, but one of his fellow trade acquisitions, Duane Washington Jr., has already been waived.
The Hornets are set to play the Memphis Grizzlies next.
