Charlotte Hornets waive Kai Jones following trade request per report

The Charlotte Hornets decided on Wednesday evening that they’d finally seen enough from their former first round pick, Kai Jones. The franchise decided to waive him on Wednesday evening, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. He was waived following an offseason that was full of drama.

Jones thought it was a great idea to rip his own teammates on Instagram. At the end of September, the Charlotte Hornets decided to keep their 2021 first-round pick away from the team with no timetable for his return. He missed training camp due to personal reasons and even publicly demanded a trade recently.
