Indiana saw several teams (such as the Mavericks) back off Turner after his foot injury. That could give the Charlotte Hornets an easier path to the Pacers center. The Hornets could try to build a package around veteran Gordon Hayward, who is believed to still favor Indiana (where he played for the Butler Bulldogs), or P.J. Washington and Mason Plumlee.

Gordon Hayward (right foot discomfort) is listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game against Toronto. James Borrego said earlier today they were hopeful he’d play tomorrow. Hayward was held out of their light workout prior to the #Hornets leaving for Toronto this afternoon. – 4:01 PM

Last night showed why I’ve always considered Gordon Hayward to be Charlotte’s best player. Without him, they have nobody to cut opponent runs short. That’s an especially important quality on a team this limited defensively. – 12:53…
