The following update came from the Hornets last night:
Hornets guard Chris Paul, who has been out the past five weeks due to left knee surgery, was medically cleared to begin running at half speed yesterday.
Hornets forward James Posey missed last night’s game against Denver with flu-like symptoms. He did not travel with the team to Phoenix and is out for tomorrow’s game. He is questionable for Monday’s game against the Clippers.
Hornets center Sean Marks will undergo right shoulder surgery on Tuesday morning and will be out the remainder of the season.
Hornets forward Peja Stojakovic, who has missed the past two games with a lower abdominal strain, will remain out for a minimum of the next 10 days.
