Zeller’s right quad contusion has kept him out for six straight games, with his
latest absence prompting coach Steve Clifford to lean on Frank Kaminsky and the
newly-acquired Miles Plumlee as his primary centers. Kaminsky will likely see
most of his action as a reserve power forward once Zeller is healthy again,
while Plumlee figures to serve in the 15-to-20-minute-per-game backup center
role that previously went to Roy Hibbert. Look for the Hornets to provide an
update on Zeller’s status shortly before Tuesday’s 7:00 p.m. ET tip off.
