Hornets vs. Magic: How to watch, TV channel, start time (Dec. 17)

The Charlotte Hornets play the Orlando Magic on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Hornets were dealt a blow on Wednesday as the team announced forward Gordon Hayward had suffered a broken finger on his right hand and would miss Thursday’s game. For now, Hayward is considered day-to-day moving forward.

Fortunately, the team’s depth will allow Miles Bridges to step into the starting lineup. Last season, Bridges started 65 games for Charlotte, averaging 13.0 points per game. In the first two preseason games, Bridges had come off the bench alongside LaMelo Ball.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:

  • Date: Thursday, Dec. 17
  • Time: 7 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: Fox Sports Southeast – Charlotte
