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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impressive off bench Tuesday Bouknight had 18 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 125-113 loss to Toronto.
Impact Bouknight has struggled to earn consistent minutes off the bench for Charlotte but has had a few excellent performances. However, that hasn't been enough to carve a regular role in the rotation. Under that scenario, Bouknight is likely to remain a last-resource fantasy alternative that shouldn't even be looked at outside of the deepest formats -- and even in that scenario, he wouldn't be anything more than a streaming option.
