Kidd-Gilchrist (groin) has opted into his $13 million player option for the 2019-20 season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kidd-Gilchrist saw his role reduced by new head coach James Borrego last season, dipping below 25 minutes per game for the first time in his seven-year career. The former second overall pick has proven to be a solid defender, but he's averaged over 10 points per game just twice, struggling to develop his overall offensive game.

Kidd-Gilchrist underwent surgery Tuesday to address a strained groin, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The goal of the procedure, which took place in Philadelphia, was to put an end to the on-and-off groin issues Kidd-Gilchrist has experienced over the last few years. The Kentucky product is expected to make a full recovery and be back to 100 percent by the time training camp begins in the fall.

Kidd-Gilchrist (personal) is available Wednesday against the Magic, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
A personal issue has prevented the forward from appearing in the past two games, but he'll make his return for Wednesday's crucial regular-season finale. Prior to leaving the team briefly, he had drawn two straight starts. It's unclear if he'll be back in the lineup Wednesday.

Kidd-Gilchrist will not play Sunday against the Pistons due to a personal issue.
EDGE Analysis
The nature of Kidd-Gilchrist's absence is unknown, but the Hornets will have to find a replacement at power forward Sunday. Kidd-Gilchrist, himself, is far from a fantasy consideration, but his absence could equate to more minutes for Frank Kaminsky, Miles Bridges or Nic Batum.

Kidd-Gilchrist had just five points, five rebounds, and one assist in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 115-109 victory over New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Kidd-Gilchrist replaced Marvin Williams (foot) in the starting lineup Wednesday but came away with very little in terms of production. He has been one of the more disappointing players this season and has basically fallen off the radar in all competitive formats. There is no word on when Williams might return but even as a starter, Kidd-Gilchrist appears to be a non-factor.

Kidd-Gilchrist will get the start for Wednesday's tilt with the Pelicans, Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kidd-Gilchrist will start at power forward in place of Marvin Williams, who injured his foot Monday against the Jazz. The seventh-year forward's managing just 6.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 18.6 minutes per game across 61 contests this season.
