Plays in preseason opener Bouknight (finger) posted two points (1-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two assists and two rebounds in Sunday's preseason game against Boston.

Impact The news here is that Bouknight was on the floor after undergoing surgery in the offseason to repair a tendon injury in his right pinky finger. The UConn product is coming off of a disappointing rookie season in which he appeared in only 31 games and failed to crack the regular rotation. With that in mind, he's entering an ultra-important Year 2 in which he'll need to demonstrate tangible progress -- particularly as a shooter.

Undergoes minor surgery on finger Bouknight underwent surgery to repair a tendon on his right pinky finger Monday and will be sidelined for Summer League, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports

Impact Bouknight made 31 NBA appearances as a rookie, posting 4.6 points across 9.8 minutes per game. However, he excelled at the G League level, averaging 21.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.2 blocks across seven appearances with the Greensboro Swarm.
