    NBA: SACRAMENTO (0-0) at NEW ORLEANS (0-0)

    <h3>Hornets return for full season in New Orleans against Kings</h3>

    <div class="pre">Sacramento (0-0) at New Orleans (0-0) 8:00 pm EDT</div>

    NEW ORLEANS (Ticker) -- The New Orleans Hornets begin their firstfull season in "The Big Easy" since Hurricane Katrina when theyopen up the 2007-08 season against the Sacramento Kings onWednesday.


    The Hornets have played nine games in New Orleans over the pasttwo seasons and hope a return home will give the team a boostcoming off a 39-43 campaign.


    New Orleans was plagued by injuries last season with PejaStojakovic missing 69 games, David West out for 30 and ChrisPaul missing 18.


    Despite the injuries, the Hornets finished just three games outof the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, and addedrookie power forward Julian Wright with the 13th overall pick aswell as free agent shooting guard Morris Peterson.

    Center Tyson Chandler was second in the league in rebounding,averaging 12.4 rebounds per game and Paul was fourth in theleague with 8.9 assists per contest. West led nine players whoaveraged atleast nine points per game with 18.3.


    Sacramento, which suffered its worst season since 1998-99,already is suffering through key injuries.


    Point guard Mike Bibby is out for atleast six weeks after hetore a ligament in his left thumb. First-round pick SpencerHawes underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee duringtraining camp and there is no timetable on his return.

    First-year coach Reggie Theus will lean on off-guard KevinMartin, who averaged 20.2 points per game and small forward RonArtest - who is appealing his seven-game suspension for off thecourt legal troubles, and averaged 18.8 points per game lastseason.
