Charlotte opened the 2026–27 NBA season with a 110–103 road win over Brooklyn while Coby White and Kon Knueppel remained out, with their return dates uncertain. Grayson Allen led the Hornets with 21 points, and Naz Reid recorded 20 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists; Dennis Schroder, Brandon Miller and Moussa Diabate also scored at least 17 points. Brooklyn’s Julius Randle scored 33 and Michael Porter Jr. added 24, but the Nets’ 22 turnovers and rebounding struggles contributed to their sixth consecutive season-opening loss. Charlotte next hosts Atlanta and Miami. Separate reports previewed Houston’s opener against Dallas and listed Memphis center Isaiah Stewart as doubtful against Utah with a left ankle sprain.
