Michael Carter-Williams: Still without return timetable

Clifford’s comments aren’t exactly encouraging, and with camp set to begin this
week, it appears the Hornets are preparing to be without Carter-Williams for a
significant period of time. The journeyman point guard underwent a procedure on
his knee last month, and the fact that he’s only been cleared for non-contract
drills indicates that he’ll likely be unavailable to begin the regular season.
Charlotte doesn’t have a ton of depth at point guard, so if that is, indeed, the
case, rookie Malik Monk could pick up increased minutes behind starter Kemba
Walker.
