Bouknight (wrist) will not play Monday against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie will not be available Monday with a sprained right wrist. He was a DNP-CD in each of the last three games, so it's unclear when the injury may have occurred. In Saturday's loss to Miami, Bouknight got into a verbal altercation with coach James Borrego and was escorted back to the Hornets' locker room mid-game.

Bouknight is doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Raptors due to a right wrist sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. He hasn't appeared in any of the Hornets' last three contests, so his expected absence isn't expected to impact coach James Borrego's rotation. It's also worth mentioning that Borrego and the rookie got into a vocal disagreement on the bench during the third quarter of Saturday's loss to the Heat, which presumably had to do with Bouknight's lack of playing time.

Bouknight closed with 13 points (4-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 158-126 victory over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight matched a season-high 14 shot attempts and has logged over 20 minutes in back-to-back contests. Although he was inefficient tonight, his 88.9 clip from the charity stripe hints at a valid shooting stroke for the 21-year-old. Sans garbage time, he is still closer to the end of the bench in Charlotte than achieving relevance as a fantasy asset

Bouknight had 18 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 125-113 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight has struggled to earn consistent minutes off the bench for Charlotte but has had a few excellent performances. However, that hasn't been enough to carve a regular role in the rotation. Under that scenario, Bouknight is likely to remain a last-resource fantasy alternative that shouldn't even be looked at outside of the deepest formats -- and even in that scenario, he wouldn't be anything more than a streaming option.

EDGE Analysis

Bouknight was assigned to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight spent a week with the parent club but played just seven minutes in his lone appearance during his stint with the Hornets. He should see additional playing time in the G League.

The Hornets recalled Bouknight from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
He'll presumably take part in practice with the Hornets on Sunday and join the team on its upcoming two-game road trip that begins Monday in New York. The rookie first-round pick has made only 18 appearances at the NBA level this season, averaging 3.6 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8.2 minutes.

Bouknight was assigned to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bouknight fell out of the Hornets' rotation recently and hadn't appeared in any of the last four games with the parent club. However, he'll be available for Saturday's G League game against Capital City and should see additional run with the Swarm.
