Diabate (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston, according to the Hornets' official injury report.
Diabate's absence will leave Charlotte shorthanded in the frontcourt against the Celtics. Ryan Kalkbrenner could see additional opportunities at center, while other available big men may also absorb minutes. Diabate's next opportunity to play will come Monday against Cleveland.

Diabate (quadriceps) is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Diabate is in danger of missing his first game of the season. Ryan Kalkbrenner would likely be called upon to make a spot start at center for the Hornets if Diabate is sidelined, with Royce O'Neale likely mixing in as a small-ball center in this case.
RotoWire via ESPN · 1d ago
Diabate closed with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 124-91 loss to the Pistons.
With a strong start to the year, Diabate seems to have pulled way ahead of Ryan Kalkbrenner for Charlotte's starting job at center. Diabate has come down with at least eight boards in seven of his first eight games, posting at least one steal or block each time out so far.

- Fantasy hoops category specialists: Risacher, Robinson among players to add
Steve Alexander looks at category specialists that might be available to add, including some who fill multiple voids.
ESPN · 4d ago
Diabate contributed 10 points (5-11 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 95-79 loss to the Wizards.
Diabate continued his strong start to the season, recording his second double-double in the past three games. He appears to be firmly locked in as the starting center, averaging 9.3 points. 9.8 rebounds and 2.6 combined steals and blocks in 29.6 minutes per game over the first six contests of the season. Although his ceiling is somewhat limited, he remains a clear must-roster player, particularly for those needing steals from the center position.
RotoWire via ESPN · 7d ago
Diabate contributed 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-103 win over Washington.
Diabate delivered his strongest rebounding performance of the young season while recording his first double-double of the campaign. The center also made a significant defensive impact with three blocks, providing valuable production across multiple categories. His limited offensive involvement caps his scoring upside, but his rebounding and defensive contributions give him considerable appeal in category-based fantasy formats.
