Coby White cleared from calf strain, set for Hornets debut vs. Bulls

Coby White (calf) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Bulls, shedding his probable tag. He returns after dealing with a nagging calf strain and is set to make his Charlotte Hornets debut on Tuesday night against his former Bulls team. Acquired from Chicago on Feb. 4, White was sidelined recovering from the strain. He is expected to come off the bench in a modest role as backup point guard. Before the trade, he averaged 18.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.7 rebounds in 29 games for Chicago.
