Coby White suffers calf strain during training camp for Hornets
Summary

Coby White, the Hornets' point guard, sustained a left calf strain during training camp and will miss the remainder of the preseason. The uncertainty surrounding his availability for the regular season, which begins on October 21, poses a challenge for Charlotte, who is already without LaMelo Ball. Dennis Schroder may take over as the starting point guard, with additional support needed from Grayson Allen and Christian Anderson. White's injury adds to the team's struggles, as he had previously missed time last season due to a similar issue.
