Charlotte Hornets forward/center Moussa Diabate (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's clash against the New York Knicks. He injured his right knee on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Fortunately, it seems that Diabate has avoided serious injury, but he may still have to sit out some action to fully recover. With Mark Williams and Jusuf Nurkic both in the lineup, Diabate doesn't have significant fantasy value. The 23-year-old has averaged 4.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 13.1 minutes since the start of March.
Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (eye) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Diabate is set to return to the court after missing the final game before the All-Star break due to an eye issue. His role in the rotation is a bit unclear right now due to the status of Mark Williams. Diabate finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds during his final game before the break. It seems likely that Diabate will have an increased role in the rotation during the second half of the season. His rebounding ability alone makes him worth looking at in fantasy formats.
Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (eye) will not be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. He put in an impressive double-double performance against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday, bagging 21 points and 10 rebounds, but Diabate also aggravated an eye abrasion in the contest, which will sideline him for Wednesday's action. With Mark Williams still away from the team, Jusuf Nurkic and Taj Gibson will be the main options at center. Nurkic is penciled in for his Hornets debut, but he will be on a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers will only get limited production from him on Wednesday.
Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (eye) will make a third consecutive start on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. He injured his right eye in Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons, exiting the action after logging only seven minutes. Charlotte initially listed Diabate as questionable for Monday night, but he has now been upgraded to available. The 23-year-old Michigan product has impressed in recent outings but may lose playing time to Jusuf Nurkic, who is available to make his Hornets debut on Monday.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Moussa Diabate has agreed to a two-way contract with the organization on Monday. The 21-year-old appeared in 22 games with the Clippers last season while on a two-way deal. He averaged 2.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.2 assists across 8.9 minutes per game. Diabate made two appearances in the Summer League this year before suffering a rib contusion. He missed the final three games because of that, but should be fine by training camp. It's uncertain if Diabate will make the Clippers roster right away, so he'll likely spend a majority of his time in the G-League.
Clippers Tender Qualifying Offer To Moussa Diabate
The Los Angeles Clippers have tendered a two-way qualifying offer to forward Moussa Diabate. Doing this makes the 21-year-old a restricted free agent this summer. Diabate made the all-rookie team in the G-League this past season. He has left a strong impression on the Clippers organization. Last season, Diabate averaged 15.9 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while in the G-League. He saw some brief time with the Clippers as well, but only averaged 8.9 minutes per game. The assumption is that Diabate will have a bigger role on the Clippers going forward, but that depends on how this offseason goes for them.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Moussa Diabate (ankle) will sit out Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 20-year-old is dealing with a right ankle sprain that he suffered during Wednesday's contest. The Clippers are going to play it safe with their rookie forward. Diabate is a bit of a project, but does have some nice upside. It's unlikely he'll get consistent playing time in the rotation. Diabate shouldn't be on the fantasy radar heading into the season.
Los Angeles Clippers rookie forward/center Moussa Diabate (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Summer League contest against the Denver Nuggets. He is dealing with an ankle injury. Diabate started each of the team's first two Summer League games and was productive on the boards, racking up a total of 15 rebounds across the two games. The 20-year-old was a second round pick in this year's draft after spending one season at the University of Michigan. He'll be a bit of a project for the Clippers but he has the ability to be a solid rim-protector, rebounder and maybe even a three-point threat if he can realize his potential.
