Hornets Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Hornets are running out of gas—and players—as their season begins to wind down.

They lost their sixth straight road game, their seventh game in the last nine overall, and dropped to 32-33 when they lost at the Oklahoma City Thunder, 98-83, Wednesday night. Only nine players were in uniform as the team's injury list grew.

The Hornets learned Wednesday that starting small forward Peja Stojakovic will miss at least the next two weeks because of a lower abdominal strain suffered against the Warriors on Monday night. Stojakovic joined All-Star point guard Chris Paul and reserve forward Sean Marks in street clothes. Paul is expected to miss at least another week as he rehabs from knee surgery, and Marks is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury.
