The Hornets assigned Bacon to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Coach James Borrego indicated earlier in the week that Bacon's stay with the Hornets would be a brief one, so it's not a surprise that the second-year forward will head back to the G League ahead of the Swarm's matchup Friday with the Maine Red Claws. Bacon played 17 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Hornets' 122-84 loss to the Mavericks and logged four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds, though he turned the ball over four times. Once he's back with Charlotte, he likely won't be included in the rotation in competitive contests.

The Hornets recalled Graham from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday, Rod Boone of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Hornets are expected to be without two of their normal starters in wing Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) and center Cody Zeller (hand) for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, so Bacon will move up to the parent club to provide some extra depth off the bench. Lamb's absence will likely open up a spot in the starting five for Devonte' Graham, with Malik Monk expected to serve as his top backup. As a result, don't expect Bacon to be included in coach James Borrego's rotation.

Bacon will be active for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Rod Boone of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Hornets stated earlier in the day that Bacon would not be available, but they've since reversed course and will now hold Devonte' Graham out instead. Bacon has been a DNP in three of the last five games is not expected to be a factor.

The Hornets assigned Bacon to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year forward will be joined in Greensboro by Devonte' Graham, with both players scheduled to play in the Swarm's game Wednesday at 1 p.m. EST against the Wisconsin Herd. Since the duo is local, both Bacon and Graham could be recalled from Greensboro and suit up later in the evening for the Hornets' home game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis
Bacon was recalled for the G League prior to Sunday's contest, but because of poor weather, he wasn't able to join the Hornets in time for their upcoming matchup. He should be available off the bench for Wednesday against Detroit.

Bacon is headed back to the G League prior Saturday, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
This move is unsurprising as Bacon has split time between the NBA and G League all season. He didn't play in last night's tilt with the Nuggets, and failed to score in his last appearance, Wednesday against Minnesota, attempting one shot in two minutes of run.
