The Hornets recalled Bacon from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bacon should be available off the bench for Monday's game against the Warriors after logging 32 minutes a day earlier in the Swarm's 107-105 victory over the Wisconsin Herd. The second-year wing put up some big numbers in the contest (29 points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal), but the performance probably won't be anything that prompts coach James Borrego to insert him into the rotation versus Golden State.

Bacon was assigned to the G League on Friday, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bacon has seen spot run lately, appearing in just one game since the beginning of February. Per usual, the organization will attempt to get him more on-court time by sending him to the G League.

Bacon was recalled from the G League on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bacon was assigned to the Greensboro Swarm on Thursday so he could play in their game against Maine. The former Florida State standout posted 13 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes, but will now likely accompany the Hornets on their upcoming road trip.

Bacon was assigned to the G League on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bacon will rejoin the Greensboro Swarm after going unused in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks. The 23-year-old is averaging 21.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals across 32.3 minutes in the G League this season.

Bacon was recalled from the G League and will be available for Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
With Tony Parker sidelined, it seems coach James Borrego would like an extra body available. Bacon has appeared in only seven NBA games since January, so his promotion probably won't lead to fantasy relevance.

Bacon put up 30 points (11-24 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks in Greensboro's 98-96 win on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The Hornets' two-way player continued to show that his talent was head-and-shoulders above his G League peers Sunday. Perhaps not viewed as such a dynamic scorer as Sunday's performance would indicate, totaling 20.5 points a game while averaging 7.0 and 3.0 assists shows that a big night like this is well within his range. That being said, Bacon's problem with shooting inefficiently, only making 39.4 percent of his field goals this season, might hurt him in the long run. He'll likely be a candidate to return to the Hornets at some point this season.

The Hornets assigned Bacon to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It will likely just be a short stint in the G League for Bacon, who will presumably play in Friday's game against the Maine Red Claws before rejoining the Hornets. The second-year forward played 12 minutes -- his second-most of January -- in Wednesday's 126-94 loss to the Celtics, finishing with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one block.

Bacon was sent to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
After playing just six minutes combined over the past three contests, Bacon will head back to the G League to get more action. The Hornets have two more games on their remaining road trip before returning home, so there's a chance he could shuttle back to the NBA relatively soon. However, it's unlikely that Bacon will play much of a role any time he is with Charlotte.

Bacon was recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bacon has been shuttling regularly between the Hornets and Swarm over the past week, most recently playing for the latter club Friday against the Lakeland Magic and putting up 19 points and five rebounds. He'll offer the Hornets some extra insurance on the wing during Saturday's game in Denver but is unlikely to see meaningful minutes unless the game turns into a non-competitive affair.

Bacon was recalled by the Hornets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-tear-old has split this season between both levels, resulting in just 18 appearances with the Hornets this season. Even with Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) uncertain for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, there's no guarantee Bacon will get minutes.
