The NBA season is more than a month and a half old, and unless something changes, the Hornets won't be playing meaningful basketball after the Christmas holiday. Charlotte has been hampered by injuries, as Terry Rozier missed roughly three weeks of action early in the season, and now LaMelo Ball is sidelined for the foreseeable future with an ankle injury. Of course, those injuries coincide with Cody Martin's injury, which has had him sidelined since early last season. And while the injuries are very much real, head coach Steve Clifford isn't letting his team get away with that as an excuse, despite his team struggling to compete defensively consistently.
