Iffy for Thursday Salaun is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Houston due to illness.

Good to go Salaun (Achilles) is available for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Wednesday Salaun is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to left Achilles tendinopathy.

Impact 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.

Posts double-double in win 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.

Impact 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 assist and 0.4 steals in 17.9 minutes per game across 21 contests.

Falls out of the rotation Salaun (coach's decision) didn't appear off the bench Monday in the Hornets' 117-109 loss to the Clippers.

Impact 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.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Salaun is available to play in Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Salaun was considered probable for Saturday's game due to a sprained left ankle. Since the start of December, Salaun has averaged 19.0 minutes per game. With Grant Williams (knee) and Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) now healthy, though, Salaun could see his minutes drop going forward.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Saturday Salaun is probable for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Salaun has now drawn four probable tags in a row, suggesting the sprain remains of minimal concern. It sounds like Grant Williams (knee) is primed to make his season debut, which could have an adverse effect on Salaun's playing time. Over his past five appearances, Salaun has averaged 5.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 17.2 minutes per while shooting 52.6 percent from the field.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Salaun (ankle) is available to play Thursday versus the Pacers.

Impact Salaun will continue to play through the ankle issue, and he should see minutes in the teens off the bench. Salaun is averaging 6.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per game this season.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Thursday Salaun is probable for Thursday's game against Indiana with a left ankle sprain.

Impact Salaun was also probable for Wednesday's game against Toronto, in which he finished with four points and six rebounds in 21 minutes. He's unlikely to see a big role Thursday with Brandon Miller returning from a one-game absence.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Wednesday Salaun (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Raptors.

Impact Salaun will power through the ankle issue and get out there for Wednesday's game. The second-year forward is averaging 6.7 points and 4.2 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per game this season.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Impact It appears Salaun will be available for the first game of this back-to-back set, and he should see his usual minutes with the second unit. Check back for official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Salaun (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Salaun shed his probable tag to suit up in Monday's win over the Thunder, though he's listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest due to a sprained left ankle. If the second-year forward is unable to suit up, Josh Green and Liam McNeeley are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go vs. OKC Salaun (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Thunder.

Impact Salaun was held out of Saturday's game due to a left ankle issue, but he'll be back on the court for Monday's clash. He's shooting the ball well lately, knocking down 66.7 percent of his tries from the field and 50.0 percent from deep over his last four games.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Monday Salaun (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

JANUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Salaun (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in Oklahoma City.

Impact Salaun is in danger of missing his second straight game, which would help Liam McNeely to remain in the rotation. Check back for official word on Salaun's status closer to Monday's tip.
