Bouknight tallied 23 points (8-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-116 loss to Mexico City.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight returned to the floor after missing Sunday's NBA contest against the Cavaliers due to a right ankle injury, leading Greensboro in scoring and threes made in a G League defeat. Bouknight has averaged 16.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 21 G League games this season, but it's rather concerning that the 2021 lottery pick hasn't made a tangible impact at the NBA level yet.

The Hornets assigned Bouknight (ankle) to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight is currently dealing with a right ankle sprain, so it's unclear if he'll see any action during his upcoming G League stint. He hasn't made an NBA appearance since Jan. 24.

Bouknight (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Cavs.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight is not a regular part of the rotation in Charlotte, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy hoops. The 2021 lottery pick has made has been a virtual non-factor in each of his first two NBA seasons, and at this point it's fair to wonder if he's considered a part of the Hornets' future plans.

The Hornets list Bouknight as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers with a right ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight hasn't played for the Hornets since Jan. 24 and picked up the right ankle sprain and some point while he was on assignment with the G League's Greensboro Swarm. Even with the Hornets out of playoff contention, the 2021 lottery pick doesn't look to be an NBA-ready contributor and is expected to see most of his opportunities in the G League whenever he moves past the ankle injury.

Bouknight didn't play Friday in the G League's Greensboro Swarm's 125-110 loss to the Austin Spurs with a right ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight has averaged 16.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 20 contests in the G League this season. The second-year guard was a lottery pick for the Hornets a season ago, but has yet to make much of a mark at the NBA level and is likely to see the majority of his playing time in the G League when healthy again.

The Hornets assigned Bouknight to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight didn't see any action during Monday's 117-106 win over the Pistons and has been sent back to the G League a day later. Across 17 appearances with the Swarm, Bouknight is averaging 16.2 points while shooting 40.9 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from the deep.

The Hornets recalled Bouknight to the NBA club from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight, Bryce McGowens and Theo Maledon have all been elevated and will be available for Monday's game against the Pistons. Bouknight has made just seven appearances since Nov. 28 and didn't play over six minutes in any of those contests, so it's safe to assume his presence won't impact Charlotte's rotation.
