It was his words.

Spoke with Tre Mann after shootaround. Told me he's fully healthy and sitting out tail end of preseason was only precautionary so he'd be good to go tonight in the opener.

He's ready.
First #Hornets injury report of the season: Josh Green and Grant Williams are out as expected.

That's the list. Everyone else is good to go. #nbasky
