EDGE Analysis

Bouknight caught fire Thursday, leading all scorers while drilling six three-pointers. He hasn't logged NBA action since the 2023-24 season with the Hornets, when he appeared in 14 regular-season games and averaged 3.6 points in 5.8 minutes per contest.

Bouknight was waived by Portland on Wednesday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

The Hornets are waiving Bouknight on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bouknight will part ways with Charlotte after a lackluster three seasons with the franchise. The No. 11 pick in the 2021 Draft is averaging 3.6 points in 5.8 minutes across 14 appearances in 2023-24. If Bouknight clears waivers, another team could take a flyer on the 23-year-old guard.

Bouknight supplied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in two minutes during Monday's 113-92 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Bouknight played just two minutes in the loss, sliding into the rotation for the second time in the past seven games. Given he has logged double-digit minutes only once thus far, Bouknight can be ignored in all fantasy formats.

Bouknight chipped in nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and one rebound over seven minutes during Saturday's 135-82 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Bouknight played a season-high seven minutes in the loss, taking to the court for just the second time all season. The Hornets were blown out in the first half, affording their second and third units additional playing time. Given what it took for him to even get into the rotation, managers need not waste their time considering him in fantasy.

Bouknight (knee) played the final 4:51 of Tuesday's 115-91 loss to the Knicks, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.

EDGE Analysis

Cleared to make his season debut Tuesday after spending the first month of the regular season recovering from a knee surgery he underwent Oct. 11, Bouknight didn't check into the game until garbage time. Even with LaMelo Ball (ankle) facing an extended absence and two other reserve guards in Frank Ntilikina (tibia) and Cody Martin (knee) facing uncertain timelines to make their season debuts, Bouknight doesn't look as though he'll be in line for a spot in coach Steve Clifford's rotation. The Hornets don't envision Bouknight as part of their long-term core after declining his team option for the 2024-25 season in October.

Bouknight (knee) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Bouknight has been upgraded from probable to available and will have a chance to make his season debut. He's unlikely to receive significant minutes unless foul trouble or injuries force him into action. Across 34 appearances last season, Bouknight averaged 5.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.1 minutes per game.

Bouknight (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Bouknight hasn't yet played during the regular season due to his knee injury, but he'll likely be able to make his debut against New York. Given the length of his absence, he'll likely be eased into action over the next few games.

Bouknight (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Bouknight is still recovering from a left knee injury, and the issue has prevented him from making his regular-season debut. His next chance to play will come against the Knicks on Tuesday.
