The Hornets waived Connaughton on Wednesday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Connaughton's stint in Charlotte will end after 22 games. He averaged 2.9 points and 1.4 rebounds across 7.0 minutes. Charlotte acquired Tyus Jones earlier Wednesday, which pushed the team over the 15-player limit. Connaughton was the odd man out, and the veteran guard will look to close out his 11th NBA season with a different organization.

EDGE Analysis
Connaughton was initially listed as questionable due to left ankle soreness, but it looks like the veteran will suit up.

Connaughton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Connaughton is dealing with left ankle soreness and is in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's contest. However, the veteran forward hasn't logged double-digit minutes since Nov. 19, so his potential absence shouldn't affect the Charlotte rotation.

Connaughton finished with one point (1-2 FT) and one assist over two minutes during Friday's 120-105 win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Connaughton played no more than six minutes for the fourth straight game, all of which have come during garbage time. At this point, it doesn't appear as though Connaughton is part of the long-term plans in Charlotte, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.
