Won't play Sunday
White (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
White has yet to make his Hornets debut due to a left calf strain and is without a clear timetable for a return. He should be considered highly questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Remains out Friday
White (calf) will not play Friday against the Cavaliers.
Analysis
White has yet to debut for the Hornets as he continues to nurse a calf strain. For now, he should be considered questionable at best for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Remaining out Thursday
White (calf) is listed out for Thursday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis
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. With the Hornets having a back-to-back set immediately following the break, White will be held out of Thursday's contest, but he could be cleared to play Friday versus Cleveland. With White remaining out for one more game, Tre Mann should remain in the rotation as LaMelo Ball's top backup.
