Top Moussa Diabate News

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Moves to bench

    Diabate isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Diabate will be replaced by Nick Richards in the starting lineup Tuesday. While Diabate is averaging 3.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 23.6 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench, the returns of Richards and Mark Williams could result in significantly decreased playing time for the 22-year-old big man.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Top rebounder in starting lineup

    Diabate ended Friday's 99-98 loss to the Knicks with six points (3-4 FG, 0-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 37 minutes.

    Diabate paced all Hornets in Friday's contest on the glass, hauling in a team-best rebound total despite failing to reach double figures in scoring in the starting lineup. Diabate got his third starting nod of the year in place of Taj Gibson. In all three of those starts, Diabate has surpassed the double-digit mark in rebounds.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Set to start Friday

    Diabate is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Knicks.

    Diabate will replace Taj Gibson in the starting lineup Friday. Diabate has averaged 0.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 assists in 31.5 minutes across his previous two starting appearances.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Thrives as defensive presence

    Diabate notched two points (1-2 FG), eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 95-84 loss to the Magic.

    Diabate is not going to be asked to carry the team offensively, but he should remain in the rotation as long as he gives the Hornets quality minutes on the defensive side of the ball. He's grabbed seven or more rebounds in all but one of his last nine games, a span in which he's averaging 3.7 points, 11.2 boards, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals per contest. He could be a decent streaming option in category-based formats due to his defensive and rebounding contributions, although the impending returns of Miles Bridges (knee), Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (ribs) limits Diabate's upside.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Retreating to bench Monday

    Diabate is not in the Hornets' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Magic.

    After starting in each of the Hornets' last two games, Diabate will come off the bench Monday while Taj Gibson starts at center. Diabate has logged at least 11 rebounds in six of his last eight outings, and over that span he has averaged 3.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals over 24.8 minutes per game.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Starting vs. Detroit

    Diabate is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

    Miles Bridges (knee) is out for Thursday's contest, meaning Grant Williams will slide to power forward while Diabate will get the nod at center. This will be Diabate's first start of the season. The big man is averaging 4.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game in 10 outings in November.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Dominates offensive glass Saturday

    Diabate finished Saturday's 115-114 win over the Bucks with 12 points (6-7 FG), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 25 minutes.

    Diabate did most of his damage in the first half of Saturday's contest, grabbing six of his game-high 10 offensive rebounds to help keep the Hornets within striking distance heading into halftime. The 2022 second-round pick has seen a significant increase in playing time off the bench due to Nick Richards being sidelined with a rib fracture, and Diabate should continue to see heavy usage as the first big man off the Hornets' bench. Diabate has grabbed at least 11 rebounds over his last four games, and across that span he has averaged 7.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.3 blocks over 26.8 minutes per game.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Surprising performance Tuesday

    Diabate racked up 12 points (6-7 FG), 15 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 114-89 loss to the Magic.

    Diabate made the most of his minutes in this defeat against the Magic and showed the two-way impact he can generate when given enough time on the court. Diabate is not expected to see the court regularly, but with Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (ribs) nursing injuries, expect him to see more minutes in the coming days.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Pulls down 15 rebounds

    Diabate had zero points (0-1 FG), 15 rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 103-83 win over Indiana.

    Diabate missed his lone shot of the game, but he was an imposing presence near the rim, pulling down 15 boards and also rejecting three shots. Diabate doesn't have a lot of fantasy upside and will continue to play a minor role off the bench for the Hornets in most games, but don't rule him out being a potential streaming option in category-based leagues if he can deliver numbers like these on a semi-regular basis.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Plays with energy Friday

    Diabate totaled seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Friday's 124-109 loss to the Celtics.

    Diabate played a season-high 16 minutes in the loss, providing the team with some much-needed energy following a lackluster first quarter. He was particularly aggressive on the offensive boards, hauling down an impressive six offensive rebounds. As long as the Hornets are banged up, Diabate is someone who should have a somewhat meaningful role, especially if the team continues to start slowly in games.

  • Hornets' Moussa Diabate: Joins Charlotte on two-way deal

    Diabate and the Hornets agreed to a two-way contract Monday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

    The No. 43 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Diabate spent the past two seasons with the Clippers where he made a total of 33 appearances. With the Hornets in the early stages of a rebuild, there is a much bigger path to minutes for Diabate with his new franchise, though he'll likely spend the bulk of his time in the G League early on.

  • Clippers' Moussa Diabate: Available for Friday

    Diabate (hand) will be available for Friday's game against the Jazz.

    Despite Diabate's availability, the two-way forward is not guaranteed to see any minutes with the Clippers mostly healthy again.

  • Clippers' Moussa Diabate: Not available Wednesday

    Head coach Tyronn Lue said Diabate (hand) will be inactive for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Diabate, a two-way player, is back with the Clippers now that the G League season is over, but it's unclear if he'll be available in a depth role over the remaining two contests of the regular season. He hasn't played at either the NBA or G League level since March 14 due to the hand injury.

  • Clippers' Moussa Diabate: Still out with hand injury

    Diabate (hand) was inactive Thursday for the G League Ontario Clippers' 113-102 win over the G League Ignite.

    Diabate didn't play in any of Ontario's final six games of the G League season while he continues to recover from a hand injury. Before sustaining the injury, Diabate appeared in 19 games for Ontario and averaged 15.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.2 steals in 30.0 minutes per contest while shooting 54.6 percent from the field. Since he's a two-way player, Diabate's 2023-24 season isn't over, as he'll still have a chance to see some minutes at the NBA level with the Clippers over the final two weeks of the regular season if he's able to overcome the hand injury.

  • Clippers' Moussa Diabate: Dominates glass in double-double

    Diabate recorded 10 points (4-14 FG, 1-1 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocks over 39 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 win over Westchester.

    Diabate owned the glass in Sunday's victory, leading all players in rebounds to go along with a handful of assists, a trio of steals and a team-best trio of blocks in a double-double showcase. Diabate has averaged 15.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals over 30.0 minutes in 12 G League outings.

  • Clippers' Moussa Diabate: Eyeing return in February

    Diabate (hand) said after Tuesday's 127-116 win over the Lakers that he expects to be back on the court in about two weeks, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

    Diabate has been sidelined for the past three weeks with a fractured right hand. Though he's seemingly on the mend and is poised to be cleared for on-court work in the first or second week of February, Diabate will likely need multiple practices to regain conditioning. Even when he's fully cleared for game action, Diabate -- one of LA's three two-way players -- is likely to see most of his playing time in the G League with the Ontario Clippers rather than at the NBA level.

  • Clippers' Moussa Diabate: Out with fractured hand

    The Clippers announced Thursday that Diabate is out indefinitely with a right hand metacarpal fracture, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

    Diabate has made 10 appearances for the Clippers at the NBA level but has averaged just 5.8 minutes per game. The Clippers haven't announced that Diabate will require surgery to address the injury, so if he's able to avoid an operation on his hand, he could conceivably return to the court before the end of January. In any case, Diabate isn't a regular part of the Clippers' rotation, so his absence shouldn't have any implications in fantasy basketball.
