The Hornets plan to monitor Emeka Okafor (knee) this summer before making a decision on what to do with the seven-year veteran.

Okafor will look to work his way back in his recovery from his knee injury, which the Hornets vaguely have termed a "sore left knee." If they don't like what they see, the team has the option of using their one-time amnesty clause to waive him to clear more salary-cap space. Okafor missed 39 games this season because of the injury and is owed $28 million over the next two seasons. May 4 - 6:52 PM

Depth Charts

All Positions
Pos	Role	Name
PG	1	Jarrett Jack Sidelined Jarrett Jack (foot) was expected to rest for 6-8 weeks after getting shut down on April 9. A stress fracture in Jack's foot forced him to pack it in for the season a little early. But after the rest, his offseason training shouldn't be in jeopardy. Jack will be entering a contract year in 2012-13. May 10
	2	Greivis Vasquez
	3	Jerome Dyson
SG	1	Eric Gordon Sidelined Eric Gordon will not play in Thursday's finale, as expected. Gordon's disastrous first season in New Orleans ends with just nine games played, but that's nothing particularly new. In each of the last three seasons, he's missed at least 20 games. Gordon heads into restricted free agency as one of the game's best pure scorers, but also one of its biggest injury risks. Apr 26
	2	Marco Belinelli
	3	Xavier Henry
PF	1	Jason Smith
	2	Carl Landry
	3	Gustavo Ayon Sidelined Gustavo Ayon (concussion) will not play in Thursday's regular season finale. Ayon must have picked up the concussion sometime during his impressive 29-minute outing against the Warriors on Tuesday. Jason Smith (ankle) is expected to play in a limited role, meaning Lance Thomas and Carl Landry are in for big minutes. Apr 26
	4	Lance Thomas
SF	1	Al-Farouq Aminu
	2	Trevor Ariza Sidelined Trevor Ariza (undisclosed) was excused from the team's season-ending three-game road trip. Ariza hasn't played a minute since April 7 as Monty Williams wants to play his younger players, and the swingman ends his season on a rather sour note. Williams said he spoke with Ariza weeks ago to "inform him of his plans" to start Al-Farouq Aminu, but that can't make it any less frustrating for the veteran. Ariza finishes the year with averages of 10.8 points and 1.7 steals per game. Apr 24
C	1	Chris Kaman Sidelined Chris Kaman (leg) is likely out for the rest of the season. Kaman has a bruised left tibia, capping a strange year for the talented 7-footer. He spent a vast majority of the season on the trading block, while also serving as the team's offensive focal point for long stretches. Kaman ended up averaging 13.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks even though he saw just 29.2 minutes per game. He figures to fetch a hefty ransom on the free agency market this summer. Meanwhile, the Hornets will roll with Jason Smith, Gustavo Ayon and Carl Landry as their primary bigs over the final five games of the season. Apr 17
	2	Solomon Jones
	3	Emeka Okafor Sidelined The Hornets plan to monitor Emeka Okafor (knee) this summer before making a decision on what to do with the seven-year veteran. Okafor will look to work his way back in his recovery from his knee injury, which the Hornets vaguely have termed a "sore left knee." If they don't like what they see, the team has the option of using their one-time amnesty clause to waive him to clear more salary-cap space. Okafor missed 39 games this season because of the injury and is owed $28 million over the next two seasons. May 4
