MARCH 9, 2022 • Associated Press
Won't play Tuesday Bouknight (neck) is out Tuesday against the Nets.
Impact Bouknight continues to deal with a sore neck and will be unavailable for a fourth straight game. His continued absence shouldn't impact the Hornets' rotation.

Ruled out Saturday Bouknight (neck) is out Saturday against the Spurs.

Rozier's 29 lead Hornets over stumbling Cavaliers 119-98

Terry Rozier scored 29 points and carried Charlotte’s backcourt with LaMelo Ball in foul trouble, leading the Hornets to a 119-98 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who got back All...
MARCH 3, 2022 • Associated Press
Won't play Wednesday Bouknight (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers.
Impact Bouknight will miss a second straight game due to neck soreness. He suffered the injury while playing with the Greensboro Swarm in the G League, so his absence is unlikely to significantly impact Charlotte's rotation.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Monday Bouknight (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's game at Milwaukee.
Impact Bouknight was considered doubtful with neck soreness, so it's not a surprise he won't be suiting up Sunday. He suffered the injury while playing with the Greensboro Swarm in the G League, and his absence is unlikely to significantly affect Charlotte's rotation.
MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Unlikely to play Monday Bouknight (neck) is doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Bucks.
Impact Bouknight picked up the injury during his stint in the G League and is unlikely to suit up for Charlotte on Monday. Cody Martin (back) is also questionable, so LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier may be forced to play extended minutes coming off Sunday's overtime loss to the Pistons.
FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sent to G League Bouknight was assigned to the G League by the Hornets on Friday.
Impact Bouknight was available for Charlotte for the final four games before the All-Star break, but he'll join the Greensboro Swarm ahead of Friday's game against the Raptors. He's appeared in 28 NBA games this season and has averaged 5.0 points and 1.7 assists in 10.6 minutes.

Ex-Huskies star Bouknight tossed; No. 24 UConn tops Xavier

Former UConn star James Bouknight of the Charlotte Hornets was tossed from his courtside side by a game official in the second half as the No. 24 Huskies held off Xavier 72-61
FEBRUARY 19, 2022 • Associated Press
Goes for 12 off bench Bouknight contributed 12 points (3-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 125-118 loss to Memphis.
Impact Bouknight is not expected to crack the starting unit any time soon due to the Hornets' depth in the backcourt, but he's making his presence felt off the bench. The rookie has scored in double digits in four of his last six appearances, but he tends to drift out of the regular rotation when the Hornets are at full strength.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Officially available Friday Bouknight (wrist) is available for Friday's game against Detroit, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Bouknight was probable ahead of Friday's matchup, so his availability isn't particularly surprising. He could see increased run with Cody Martin (Achilles) and Gordon Hayward (ankle) unavailable.

FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • Associated Press
Probable for Friday Bouknight (wrist) is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Bouknight was unavailable the past two games due to a sprained right wrist, but he's expected to suit up for the front half of the back-to-back set Friday. He could see some action off the bench with Cody Martin (Achilles) and Gordon Hayward (ankle) already ruled out.
FEBRUARY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out Wednesday Bouknight (wrist) will not play Wednesday against Chicago.
Impact As expected, Bouknight will remain out for a second straight game due to a sprained right wrist. Prior to the injury, Bouknight had picked up three straight DNP-CDs, so his absence won't affect the rotation.
FEBRUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Unlikely to play Wednesday Bouknight (wrist) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Chicago.
Impact Despite going unused off the Charlotte bench in three straight games due to coach's decisions, Bouknight was ruled out ahead of Monday's 116-101 loss to Toronto due to a sprained right wrist. He may have picked up the injury at some point during practice, but in any case, Bouknight looks on track to miss a second straight contest Wednesday. His likely absence shouldn't affect head coach James Borrego's rotation.

Siakam, Raptors beat Hornets 116-101 for 6th straight win

Pascal Siakam had 24 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, and the Toronto Raptors defeated the Charlotte Hornets 116-101 for their sixth straight win
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • Associated Press
Ruled out Bouknight (wrist) will not play Monday against the Raptors.
Impact The rookie will not be available Monday with a sprained right wrist. He was a DNP-CD in each of the last three games, so it's unclear when the injury may have occurred. In Saturday's loss to Miami, Bouknight got into a verbal altercation with coach James Borrego and was escorted back to the Hornets' locker room mid-game.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Doubtful for Monday's contest Bouknight is doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Raptors due to a right wrist sprain.
Impact Bouknight was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. He hasn't appeared in any of the Hornets' last three contests, so his expected absence isn't expected to impact coach James Borrego's rotation. It's also worth mentioning that Borrego and the rookie got into a vocal disagreement on the bench during the third quarter of Saturday's loss to the Heat, which presumably had to do with Bouknight's lack of playing time.

Butler, Adebayo lead Heat past frustrated Hornets 104-86

Jimmy Butler scored 27 points, Bam Adebayo added 20 points and 12 rebounds and the Miami Heat handed the slumping Charlotte Hornets their fourth straight loss 104-86
FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • Associated Press
Long leash in blowout Bouknight closed with 13 points (4-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 158-126 victory over the Pacers.
Impact Bouknight matched a season-high 14 shot attempts and has logged over 20 minutes in back-to-back contests. Although he was inefficient tonight, his 88.9 clip from the charity stripe hints at a valid shooting stroke for the 21-year-old. Sans garbage time, he is still closer to the end of the bench in Charlotte than achieving relevance as a fantasy asset.
