Ish Smith has been added to the NBA's Health and Safety protocols for COVID-19 and is out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Charlotte Hornets already announced that LaMelo Ball, Jalen McDaniels, Mason Plumlee and Terry Rozier are in the Health and Safety protocols. 

In addition to guards LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier, the Charlotte Hornets have placed big men Mason Plumlee and Jalen McDaniels in the NBA's health and safety protocols for COVID-19.

As with Ball and Rozier, Plumlee and McDaniels will need to register two negative COVID tests in a 24-hour period to return. If not, they'll miss a minimum of 10 days.

Plumlee has been the Hornets starting center in his first season with the team. McDaniels has emerged as a key backup forward in his third season.

The Charlotte Hornets are on a three-game losing streak after a solid start to the season and things might be about to get even tougher. Starting guards LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier are both expected to miss several games after entering the NBA's health and safety protocols for COVID-19.

Unless they return two negative tests in a 24-hour period, Ball and Rozier are expected to miss at least 10 days. In that span, the Hornets play five games. That stretch includes four games against current playoff teams.

Ball and Rozier have been keys to Charlotte's solid start. Ball is averaging 20 points, 7.7 rebounds and 8.3 assists in his second season. Rozier has averaged 17.7 points per game and is the Hornets best backcourt defender.
