Hornets guard Kemba Walker will miss Monday's game

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker will miss Monday’s home game against Minnesota Timberwolves after sitting out practice Sunday at Time Warner Cable Arena.

Walker also missed Saturday’s 80-71 overtime victory over the Indiana Pacers with a sore left knee. The Hornets say the source of that pain is a cyst that Walker has had since high school.

Walker has been a particularly durable player in his 3-plus NBA seasons in Charlotte. He played every game his first two NBA seasons. He missed nine games last season.
