The Hornets had a big trade deadline \u2014 but one of their moves was tweaked thanks to an injury.<\/p>\n

Coby White will still be a Hornet<\/a>, but the team will now send the Bulls two second-round picks instead of three. The reason for the alteration is that White has a calf strain that will sideline him for at least some amount of time.<\/p>\n

In the amended deal, the Hornets are sending 2031 second-rounders owned by the Knicks and Nuggets to the Bulls, according to The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n
