Sion James Expected to Play Through Groin Issue Saturday
Charlotte Hornets guard Sion James (groin) is probable for Saturday's matchup against the Clippers. He is expected to keep his usual role after playing 23 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Indiana. James scored one point with two rebounds, one assist and one steal in that game, and he is averaging 7.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 43.8 percent shooting this season. His usage stays low and his last five games include 0.8 points and 3.2 rebounds in roughly 26 minutes, making him a deep-league option only. His value improves slightly if Tre Mann (ankle), who is questionable, sits. Brandon Miller's return and Collin Sexton's steady workload keeps James capped to a complementary role.
