Charlotte Hornets guard Frank Ntilikina suffered a non-displaced fracture of his left tibia during Thursday’s preseason game. Ntilikina will miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season.
Ntilikina signed with Charlotte this offseason. He played for the Dallas Mavericks this past season. The Hornets are counting on Ntilikina to replace some of the guard depth they lost when Dennis Smith Jr. signed with the Brooklyn Nets.
