Hornets vs. Pacers: Lineups, injuries, and broadcast info

The Charlotte Hornets open their season on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

After a rocky preseason with blowout losses and an abundance of injuries, the Hornets are back healthy right in time for the season opener, which included Gordon Hayward’s battle with COVID-19.

Terry Rozier and Miles Bridges are both listed as probable for Wednesday’s opener. Rozier missed the last three games of the preseason with a sprained ankle. Bridges left the final preseason game in the first half after tweaking his knee.

The Pacers have a lengthy injury report with Caris LeVert and T.J. Warren both out for the foreseeable future. Malcolm Brogdon is listed as probable while Jeremy Lamb and Justin Holiday are both listed as questionable.
