The Hornets assigned Bouknight to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After going unused off the bench in the Hornets' 130-118 loss to the Celtics on Monday, Bouknight will head to the G League and should be in line for extended run in the Swarm's upcoming game Wednesday versus the Cleveland Charge.

The Hornets recalled Bouknight to the NBA club from the G League on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
While playing for the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Saturday, Bouknight finished with 19 points (6-15 FG), five rebounds and three assists. The 22-year-old will now be available for Charlotte's matchup against Boston on Sunday, but he's unlikely to garner a major role, as he's averaging just 4.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 13.9 minutes across 25 NBA appearances.

Bouknight produced three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in three minutes during Wednesday's 126-105 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight saw playing time for just the fourth time in the last 11 games, all of which have been fewer than five minutes. After appearing in 17 consecutive games to open the season, it's been a rapid decline since then. Based on what we have seen in recent times, he is unlikely to touch the fantasy radar anytime soon, even in deeper formats.

Bouknight contributed one point (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds over 17 minutes during Thursday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight couldn't find the bottom of the net in this one, failing to connect on his five shot attempts from the field, including four from deep. He's shooting just 22.4 percent from beyond the arc on the year and 31.9 percent from the field overall, so it may be tough to stomach Bouknight's shooting percentages, even in deep formats. He's been freezing from beyond the arc recently, going just 1-for-14 over the last four games.

The Hornets exercised Bouknight's third-year team option for 2023-24 on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight will become a restricted free agent after the 2024-25 season, so the Hornets have two more years of team control. Despite off-court concerns, the 2021 No. 11 pick has seen an increased role due to injuries to LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Terry Rozier (ankle). Bouknight has averaged 5.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 28.6 field-goal percentage in 15.5 minutes through four games this season.
