Charlotte could be without one of their most important starters at Kia Center, and it comes at the worst time when Y’all is needed to secure a playoff berth.A lot of credit goes to the Hornets’ health and performance staff, as well as the coaching staff, for how they’ve managed injuries throughout the season. Outside of the rocky opening weeks, the roster has stayed impressively healthy.That’s why losing Diabate now would be such a gigantic blow. With PJ Hall already sidelined by a major injury, Charlotte’s frontcourt depth chart has already taken a considerable hit.The Moose played through injury in the overtime thriller.Diabate was clearly battling through pain in the fourth quarter of the Miami Heat game, yet he never backed down. He still finished with 14 rebounds, including eight on the offensive glass, a testament to his elite motor and relentless pursuit of the ball.Even while injured, he was fighting for every loose ball. There’s a reason the Moose has become a fan favorite. He empties the tank on every possession, and that energy lifts the entire arena.Diabate logged 36 grueling minutes in Tuesday’s overtime thriller, which raises a real question: who steps in if he can’t go?Moussa Diabate’s absence would seriously handicap the Hornets
