Bouknight (neck) is doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight picked up the injury during his stint in the G League and is unlikely to suit up for Charlotte on Monday. Cody Martin (back) is also questionable, so LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier may be forced to play extended minutes coming off Sunday's overtime loss to the Pistons.

Bouknight was recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being recalled to the parent squad, Bouknight won't be available for Monday's game against the Bucks as he continues to deal with an upper-body injury. His next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Bouknight didn't play in Saturday's 122-106 loss to the Grand Rapids Gold due to an upper-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight scored 22 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT) across 32 minutes during Friday's loss to the Raptors 905, but he apparently picked up an injury as well and was sidelined for the second half of Greensboro's back-to-back set Saturday. His next chance to return will come Tuesday against the Westchester Knicks.

Bouknight notched 22 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's 130-115 loss to the Raptors 905.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight failed to connect on any of his three attempts from deep, but he was still able to score 22 points. Across three appearances with Greensboro, the 21-year-old is averaging 24.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 33.4 minutes per game.

Bouknight was assigned to the G League by the Hornets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight was available for Charlotte for the final four games before the All-Star break, but he'll join the Greensboro Swarm ahead of Friday's game against the Raptors. He's appeared in 28 NBA games this season and has averaged 5.0 points and 1.7 assists in 10.6 minutes.

Bouknight contributed 12 points (3-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 125-118 loss to Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight is not expected to crack the starting unit any time soon due to the Hornets' depth in the backcourt, but he's making his presence felt off the bench. The rookie has scored in double digits in four of his last six appearances, but he tends to drift out of the regular rotation when the Hornets are at full strength.

Bouknight (wrist) is available for Friday's game against Detroit, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight was probable ahead of Friday's matchup, so his availability isn't particularly surprising. He could see increased run with Cody Martin (Achilles) and Gordon Hayward (ankle) unavailable.

Bouknight (wrist) is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight was unavailable the past two games due to a sprained right wrist, but he's expected to suit up for the front half of the back-to-back set Friday. He could see some action off the bench with Cody Martin (Achilles) and Gordon Hayward (ankle) already ruled out.

Bouknight (wrist) will not play Wednesday against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Bouknight will remain out for a second straight game due to a sprained right wrist. Prior to the injury, Bouknight had picked up three straight DNP-CDs, so his absence won't affect the rotation.

Bouknight (wrist) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Despite going unused off the Charlotte bench in three straight games due to coach's decisions, Bouknight was ruled out ahead of Monday's 116-101 loss to Toronto due to a sprained right wrist. He may have picked up the injury at some point during practice, but in any case, Bouknight looks on track to miss a second straight contest Wednesday. His likely absence shouldn't affect head coach James Borrego's rotation.
