On Wednesday evening, the Charlotte Hornets lost to the Toronto Raptors by a score of 123-117.
James Bouknight did not play in the game, and on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported that the team will waive the 23-year-old.
Via Charania : "The Charlotte Hornets are waiving 2021 lottery pick James Bouknight, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium."
The move is significant because Bouknight was the 11th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
However, he has only played in 14 games this season and is averaging 3.6 points per contest while shooting 43.9% from the field 43.3% from the three-point range.
