A Time to Heal Up
by Devon Jeffreys

The Hornets announced this morning that No. 6 will miss the next seven to 14 days to immobilize his inflamed right ankle.

According to the Times-Picayune, Ty is not with the team for tonight’s matchup at Madison Square Garden in New York City and will begin rehab soon:

“The Hornets announced Friday morning that Chandler will immediately began rehabilitation after the seven- to 14- day period and the team will be giving updates on a needed basis. Chandler is expected to return before the Hornets end the regular season on April 15 against San Antonio.”

New Orleans plays nine games in he next 14 days. The Big Easy has already missed 26 games this season and the majority have been due to the same ankle injury. He has missed the last four games with inflammation after playing 12 consecutive contests. The Hornets are 30-14 when No. 6 plays and 14-12 when he’s out.
