Charlotte Hornets guard Coby White will miss the entire preseason after suffering a left calf strain during training camp, the team announced through NBA.com. His availability for the regular-season opener at Brooklyn on October 21 remains uncertain. Charlotte said it would provide further updates when more was known about the injury. White had been expected to take on the starting point-guard role following the team's offseason changes. In 21 games for the Hornets last season, he averaged 15.6 points, three rebounds and three assists.
