Bouknight totaled 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 134-131 overtime loss to New York.

EDGE Analysis

Bouknight's 13 points and three assists are both season highs. He struggled immensely out of the gate, going 0-for-10 in his first two games. He's picked it up since, going 8-for-18. Fantasy managers in very deep leagues can add Bouknight to the watchlist, but the guard's usage may dip once LaMelo Ball (ankle), Terry Rozier (ankle) and Cody Martin (quadriceps) are back in the rotation.

Bouknight is not on the injury report for Wednesday's season opener at San Antonio following his arrest Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

More information on the situation may arise later, but for now, Bouknight is available to play. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) missing time early in the year, Bouknight may see extra run.

Bouknight was arrested on a driving while impaired charge Sunday, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Bouknight (finger) posted two points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two assists and two rebounds in Sunday's preseason game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The news here is that Bouknight was on the floor after undergoing surgery in the offseason to repair a tendon injury in his right pinky finger. The UConn product is coming off of a disappointing rookie season in which he appeared in only 31 games and failed to crack the regular rotation. With that in mind, he's entering an ultra-important Year 2 in which he'll need to demonstrate tangible progress -- particularly as a shooter.

Bouknight underwent surgery to repair a tendon on his right pinky finger Monday and will be sidelined for Summer League, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports

EDGE Analysis

However, he excelled at the G League level, averaging 21.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.2 blocks across seven appearances with the Greensboro Swarm. The surgery isn't expected to impact his availability for the regular season, but his absence from Summer League may hinder his ability to carve out a role to start the year.
