Taylor started the season with a 24-game suspension following a domestic incident and then played in the D-League for a short stint before even officially joining the Hornets. At season's end, Taylor had played in just 29 games and finished with averages of 4.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 15 minutes. In this third NBA season with Charlotte, Taylor continued to be unable to become a reliable piece of the team's rotation, and while his 24-game suspension did not help, he still was not able to get much done while he was on the court. Taylor's most playing time came in the final month of season, where he averaged nearly 25 minutes per game, as he got an increase in minutes with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist out with an ankle injury. In that time, however, Taylor only managed averages of 6.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists. The Hornets do have a qualifying offer of nearly $1.2 million that they can extend to Taylor, otherwise the small forward will be looking for work this offseason
