Ty Sits Tonight, Maybe Weekend
by Devon Jeffreys

It looks like Hornets coach Byron Scott is going to take every chance he can to let Ty heal while the competition is weak.

The Hornets host the Memphis Grizzlies tonight at New Orleans Arena and No. 6 will spend the night on the bench in a suit as Hilton Armstrong tries to fill in, as reported this afternoon by the Times-Picayune:

“After playing effectively during Wednesday’s victory against Minnesota, Hornets center Hilton Armstrong will start again in place of injured Tyson Chandler tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies.”

Scott made his lineup decisions after shootaround and declared Tyson out in the media conference that followed. The hope is that Ty could play on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors, as quoted on the Big Easy Buzz Blog:

“We’re going to see if we can get (Chandler) ready for Sunday (vs. Golden State), and Peja as well,” Scott said. “Tomorrow hopefully they’ll feel a little bit better, and then on Sunday they’ll be ready to go.”
