Cody Zeller: Close to returning to action

Zeller has missed the Hornets’ last seven games with a right quad contusion, but
nearly made his return to the court Tuesday before the team ruled him out
shortly before tip off. If Zeller is able to take part in practice Wednesday or
the Hornets’ morning shootaround Thursday, he could be cleared to play later
Thursday against the Rockets. Frank Kaminsky would settle back into a slightly
more reduced role off the bench once Zeller is healthy again.
