Pat Connaughton

Pat Connaughton (calf) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran is set to make his return to the lineup after being sidelined for an extended period of time due to a calf issue of some kind. He should see a solid workload for his first few games back at least with Collin Sexton (quad) still out of the lineup for the Hornets.

Pat Connaughton (calf) is officially questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran has been out for close to a month due to a nagging calf injury, but he has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Saturday's game, which is a sure sign that he will be back in the very near future. His return, whenever it comes, will mean slightly less work for KJ Simpson moving forward.

There's no clear timetable for his recovery at this point, and KJ Simpson will likely continue to see more work as a result of his absence, especially with LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Collin Sexton (quad) both also set to be sidelined for the team's next game at least.
