Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist suffered a sprain right ankle and he did not return to the game vs. the Detroit Pistons.

Kidd-Gilchrist only played four minutes during the game. He only got five points during those minutes before he left the game due to the injury.

There was an update after the game on Kidd-Gilchrist. He was in a walking boot after the game.

The Hornets are 7-6 on the season and they are the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. If Kidd-Gilchrist is out for a couple of weeks, it would be a huge blow to the Hornets.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is averaging 8.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 blocks per game. He is also averaging 2.4 offensive rebounds per game, which is a career high. Offensive rebounds are a huge part of the game and the Hornets will miss that production from him.

If Kidd-Gilchrist misses a couple of weeks, expect rookie Miles Bridges to get an extended amount of minutes.

Kidd-Gilchrist has been a defensive juggernaut and a rebounding machine for the team and they will desperately miss his production on that end of the floor.

There was not an updated status on Kidd-Gilchrist after the game, but you should expect to get one in the coming days.

The Hornets are ranked number eight in opponents points per game this season. They are allowing 109.2 per game.

Opponents are shooting 45 percent and 32.5 percent from three against the Hornets.

Charlotte has been one of the better defensive teams this season. If Kidd-Gilchrist is out for periods of time, expect his teammates to pickup his production.
