Coby White is officially set to make his debut for the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. The highly anticipated first appearance will see White face his former team, the Chicago Bulls, at the United Center. The Hornets organization announced the guard's upgrade to available status, confirming he will play after being sidelined since his acquisition.

White joined the Hornets on February 4th via a trade with Chicago. His absence from the court for Charlotte has been due to recovery from a left calf strain. Upon his return, White is expected to come off the bench, serving as the team's backup point guard. He will play behind LaMelo Ball, who recently delivered an impressive performance, scoring 37 points and hitting a career-high 10 three-pointers in a Monday night victory over the Washington Wizards.

Before the trade, White spent six and a half seasons with the Bulls. In the 29 games he played for Chicago this season, he maintained strong averages of 18.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.7 rebounds. He also demonstrated his shooting prowess with a 34.6% accuracy from beyond the three-point line. White's last NBA game was on February 3rd, making his upcoming debut a significant return to action.
