Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Won't play Thursday
The Hornets list out for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to a sprained right ankle.
The Hornets recalled the rookie first-round pick from the G League, where he saw his most recent game action Friday with the Swarm. He apparently suffered the ankle injury in that contest and didn't play in the Swarm's most recent two contests Sunday and Wednesday. Though Salaun is back with the parent club, it's unclear how close he might be to playing again.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Perfect from field Monday
Salaun recorded 10 points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT) and two rebounds over 15 minutes in Monday's 119-101 loss to Golden State.
Salaun shot the ball well off the Charlotte bench in Monday's outing, making all of his shots from deep while leading all Hornets bench players in scoring in a double-digit showing. Salaun reached double figures for the seventh time this season, connecting on three or more threes for the fourth time.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Set to play against Washington
Salaun (ankle) is available for Saturday's game versus the Wizards.
Salaun has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday after missing Charlotte's previous two contests. With Seth Curry (back) out, Salaun should operate as one of the Hornets' top options off the bench.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Questionable to play Saturday
Salaun (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Salaun has missed two straight games due to a right ankle sprain, and he's in jeopardy of missing a third Saturday. He averaged 6.8 points and 4.8 rebounds across 22.8 minutes per game across his nine outings prior to his most recent injury. Luckily for the Hornets, DaQuan Jeffries returned Thursday from a four-game absence due to a knee sprain, and he and Moussa Diabate will serve in rotation behind Mark Williams at the center position if Salaun is not cleared to play.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Remains out with ankle sprain
Salaun (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
A right ankle sprain will cost Salaun a second straight game Thursday. The rookie first-rounder's next chance to suit up for the Hornets arrives Saturday against the Wizards. Jusuf Nurkic did not see the court in Tuesday's loss to the Warriors, and DaQuan Jeffries (knee) remains iffy to play; therefore, Moussa Diabate appears to have a clear path to backup center duties in Charlotte's rotation.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Out with ankle sprain
Salaun will not play Tuesday against the Warriors due to a right ankle sprain.
This appears to be a new injury for Salaun, and he'll be joining a crowded injury report. With Salaun unavailable, there could be more minutes available for guys like Josh Green, Wendell Moore and Seth Curry.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Solid all-around performance
Salaun racked up 16 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, one block and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 97-89 loss to the Nets.
Salaun logged 27 minutes in Monday's loss to the Nets and was one of only three players for Charlotte to score in double figures. The rookie big man finished with 16 points, well over his average in that department of 5.3 points per game and one point off his career-high total of 17. The French import may continue to see more time on the floor if he can keep up this kind of production off the bench for the Hornets.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Logs 22 minutes in return
Salaun (illness) tallied 10 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 22 minutes Wednesday in the Hornets' 112-102 loss to the Bucks.
Salaun hadn't played with the G League's Greensboro Swarm or the Hornets for the past week due to an illness, but he made a timely return to action Wednesday for a Charlotte squad that was without seven players due to injury. Though the rookie first-round pick showed well during his time on the court, he'll be a prime candidate to see his minutes get cut once the Hornets get healthier and are able to incorporate trade-deadline pickup Dalton Knecht into the rotation.

Salaun (illness) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.

Salaun will now miss his third straight game on account of an illness, after he previously sat out Friday and Saturday while he was with the G League's Greensboro Swarm before the Hornets recalled him Sunday. The rookie could be ready to go for the Hornets' next game Wednesday versus the Bucks, though he may not be a major part of the rotation if he plays.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Doubtful for Monday
Salaun (illness) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Wizards.
Though the Hornets recalled Salaun from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Sunday, he had missed the Swarm's most recent two games Friday and Saturday versus the Capital City Go-Go due to the illness. He apparently hasn't fully moved past the ailment and looks to be trending toward sitting out Monday.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Rejoins parent club
The Hornets recalled Salaun (illness) from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Sunday.
Salaun is not listed on the injury report for Monday's game against Washington, so he'll presumably be available to play after he wasn't available for either of the Swarm's matchups with the Capital City Go-Go on Friday and Saturday while battling an illness. The rookie first-round pick has been a member of the Charlotte rotation for much of the season, but he was sent to the G League on Jan. 18 after his playing time at the NBA level had begun to trend down.
