Just when the Charlotte Hornets were almost back to full health, COVID-19 strikes again.
On Wednesday, the Hornets announced that Gordon Hayward has entered the league’s health and safety protocol and would be out for Wednesday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers.

Hayward was already questionable for the contest with discomfort in his right foot, which caused him to miss the last two games.
Look for Kelly Oubre Jr. to remain in the starting lineup for Hayward while he’s in the league’s protocols.
