Salaun (Achilles) is available for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.
Salaun was previously considered probable for Wednesday's contest, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. Salaun is coming off his first double-double of the season, as he logged 13 points and 11 rebounds across 22 minutes.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Probable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Salaun is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to left Achilles tendinopathy.
The Achilles issue is a new concern for Salaun, though he's still likely to suit up in the front end of this back-to-back set. The second-year forward has appeared in eight outings this month, during which he has averaged 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per contest.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Posts double-double in win
Rotowire
Salaun finished with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 110-87 victory over Denver.
Salaun added 13 points and led the team with 11 rebounds off the bench in Sunday's win over the Nuggets. It marked the 20-year-old forward's first double-double this season and third of his career. Salaun has been a fairly steady part of Charlotte's rotation since being recalled from the G League at the start of December, averaging 7.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 threes, 1.0 assists and 0.4 steals in 17.9 minutes per game across 21 contests.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Falls out of rotation
Rotowire
Salaun (coach's decision) didn't appear off the bench Monday in the Hornets' 117-109 loss to the Clippers.
After being recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm in late November, Salaun had emerged as a regular part of the Charlotte rotation. From Dec. 1 through this past weekend, Salaun had appeared in 18 of 19 games and averaged 7.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers and 0.9 assists in 18.6 minutes per contest, with his only absence during that stretch being the result of a sore left ankle. However, with Grant Williams now back to full health after missing the start of the season while recovering from knee surgery, the Hornets no longer appear to have room on the second unit for Salaun. If playing time continues to be hard to come by for the second-year forward over the next handful of games, Salaun could be sent back to Greensboro in order to pick up steady minutes.

Over his last five appearances, Salaun has averaged 5.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 17.2 minutes per game while shooting 52.6 percent from the field.

Rotowire
Salaun supplied three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 123-113 loss to Milwaukee.

While the second-year forward didn't provide much on the offensive end, he grabbed a game- and season-high 11 rebounds. Salaun has played 20 or more minutes in four straight games and could continue to see increased burn if Bridges is forced to miss additional time.

Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Woeful in loss
Rotowire
Salaun had two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Monday's 139-132 loss to the Cavaliers.
Salaun offered basically nothing in the loss, continuing what has been a quiet two weeks. In five games during that time, Salaun has averaged just 6.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game. While this is only his second season, it does appear as though taking him with the sixth pick in the 2024 NBA Draft could end up being a regrettable decision.

Sion James, Josh Green and Drew Peterson could see more minutes off the bench if Salaun is not cleared to play Sunday.
