Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Iffy to face Chicago
Salaun (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls.
The rookie is dealing with a left ankle sprain and has missed each of Charlotte's previous two games, but the questionable tag is a step in the right direction toward a potential return. Prior to the injury, Salaun had started six games in a row for the Hornets, averaging 7.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 25.5 minutes per game

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Remains out Sunday
Salaun (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Salaun sprained his left ankle during the first quarter of Thursday's loss to the Knicks and will miss both halves of Charlotte's weekend back-to-back set.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Won't return vs. Knicks
Salaun has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against New York after being diagnosed with a left ankle sprain.
Salaun injured his ankle during the first few minutes of Thursday's clash, and the team was quick to shut him down for the rest of the night. He'll finish the contest with four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal in two minutes. Look for Josh Green, Cody Martin and Nick Smith to pick up additional minutes in Salaun's absence.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Heads to locker room
Salaun (ankle) headed to the locker room during the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
The rookie forward got injured during a fast break when Josh Hart tried to cut him off. Even though he remained in the game to shoot free throws, he fouled Jalen Brunson to exit the game, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return. If he doesn't, then Josh Green would be a candidate to see more minutes at power forward.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Strong on glass in double-double
Salaun supplied 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and two steals over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 110-104 loss to the 76ers.
Salaun was a solid presence in the paint Tuesday, finishing as one of two Hornets players with a double-digit rebound total while ending as one of four players in double figures in scoring in a double-double outing. Salaun set a new season high in rebounds in the loss while recording his first double-double of the season thus far.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Starting Monday
Salaun will start Monday's game against the Magic.
With Grant Williams (knee) done for the year, Salaun will move into the starting lineup. The rookie's previous two starts weren't great, as he totaled four points, 16 rebounds and three assists in 40 minutes, but the Hornets are going to have to live with some growing pains given their current injury situation.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Solid production off bench
Salaun had seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 13 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 overtime win over the Pistons.
In his last five games since moving back to the bench, Salaun has averaged 4.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.8 minutes. However, the rookie forward has been struggling with his efficiency, shooting just 31.6 percent from the field over that span.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Retreats to bench Tuesday
Salaun will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Magic.
After Grant Williams' season-high 17 points in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia, he will get the start over Salaun for Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup. The rookie started in the club's last two games with Miles Bridges (knee) out, though Salaun totaled only four points to go along with 16 rebounds and three assists while shooting a combined 2-for-11 from the field across a total of 40 minutes.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Starting vs. Indiana
Salaun is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers.
The rookie will make the first start of his career Friday with Miles Bridges (knee) sidelined, and he'll be the second-youngest player ever to start a regular-season game for the franchise at 19 years and 90 days of age. Salaun is averaging 3.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game in his first six appearances, but he should be in line for a sizable uptick in minutes Friday.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Limited again Monday
Salaun accumulated five points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 114-93 loss to Minnesota.
Despite logging meaningful minutes, Salaun continues to deliver modest production, at best. It's been an underwhelming start to his rookie season, although he has at least been able to carve out a regular spot in the rotation. The Hornets seem destined for another disappointing season, meaning there could come a time when they opt to lean into Salaun a little more. It is worth keeping an eye on his role as the season progresses.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Will be available Friday
Salaun (finger) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
The rookie did not suit up during the club's Opening Night game due to a finger injury, but he'll be available Friday and should see minutes off the bench. This would be Salaun's debut in The Association.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Dealing with finger injury
Salaun is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hawks due to a left finger sprain.
Salaun injured his finger despite not logging any minutes during Wednesday's regular-season opener. The rookie forward's potential absence shouldn't affect Charlotte's rotation.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Grabs 14 boards Thursday
Salaun amassed seven points (2-11 FG, 2-7 3PT, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-116 preseason loss to the Pacers.
Salaun shifted to the bench, allowing Seth Curry to slide into the starting lineup. Although his shot was not falling, Salaun found other ways to contribute, hauling in an impressive 14 rebounds. His role remains somewhat uncertain, but could certainly increase as the season progresses. He is not worth drafting in standard leagues but should the Hornets opt to lean into their youth at any point, he could pop up on the radar.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Not starting Thursday
Salaun is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Pacers.
Salaun started against the Knicks on Tuesday, but the rookie will make way for Seth Curry, who will get the nod at shooting guard alongside Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball in the backcourt. Salaun should see decent minutes off the bench, though, as this is the Hornets' preseason finale before the regular-season opener against the Rockets on Oct. 23.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Heavy playing time vs. Knicks
Salaun tallied 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and eight rebounds across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Salaun was inserted into the starting five for Seth Curry on Tuesday, and the former got an extended look with a game-high 37 minutes of playing time. The rookie first-round pick is expected to come off the bench for the start of the 2024-25 regular season, but Salaun could earn more minutes -- and possibly a spot in the starting rotation -- if he outplays Josh Green (rest) and Cody Martin early on.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Receives start vs. Knicks
Salaun will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Knicks.
The rookie will replace Seth Curry in the starting five, marking Salaun's first start of the preseason. The 19-year-old is expected to come off the bench this season, though if injury concerns arise for Josh Green (rest) or Cody Martin (wrist), Salaun will likely see an uptick in playing time.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Posts 13 points from bench
Salaun totaled 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt), five rebounds, an assist and a steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 win over the Grizzlies.
Salaun will probably see a lot of time in the preseason. The first-round pick has an excellent chance to remain on the roster and avoid a G League post thanks to previous pro experience in France. The power forward enters a crowded depth chart and will play behind Miles Bridges this season.
