Sion James

LaMelo just can't seem to keep his ankles healthy. He dealt with a right ankle injury in November, and now it's the left ankle that will keep him sidelined for at least the remainder of this game. Hopefully it won't keep him sidelined long, but both KJ Simpson and Sion James should be in line for more minutes with Ball unavailable.

Miller's return will unsurprisingly push Sion James back to the bench. Also, after a one-game swap, Moussa Diabate will head back to the bench, with Kalkbrenner returning to the starting lineup, though both bigs will continue to split the minutes at center.

Miller was upgraded to probable earlier in the day after initially being listed as questionable. Now, he's been cleared to suit up. His return should push Sion James back to the bench.

It's good news for Miller, who has missed the last two games with a left shoulder injury. The 23-year-old small forward was upgraded to probable and is now likely to return against the Raptors on Friday. Sion James will head back to the bench, though Miller could be on a minutes restriction.

Miller has missed Charlotte's last two games with a left shoulder injury, resulting in starts for rookie Sion James. If Miller can play against Toronto, James will be headed back to the bench. Due to his shoulder issues this season, Miller's playing time may be limited if he can go.
