James Bouknight

James Bouknight is being waived by the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

The Hornets picked Bouknight with the 11th overall pick in the draft a few years ago, but now his time with the team is coming to an end. They are waiving him to make roster space after Thursday's trade deadline, and he will be on the hunt for a new team. Fantasy managers can safely leave him on the waiver wire for the time being.

James Bouknight is set to make his season debut on Tuesday against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Bouknight said he is good to go as he makes his season debut after undergoing left knee surgery. He will likely be eased back early on.

James Bouknight scored 21 points and added two rebounds and an assist in the Hornets' 128-108 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Bouknight's 21 points were one point shy of tying his season-high of 22 that he scored against Chicago on Friday. It's been an injury-riddled end of the season for the Hornets, so Bouknight is getting some extra minutes as the starters are out. Managers shouldn't expect performances like this to come regularly.

James Bouknight (ankle) will be inactive for Charlotte's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

An ankle injury will leave Bouknight sidelined for Sunday's game. He's considered day-to-day for right now, and his next chance to suit up will come on Tuesday against the Cavaliers. He doesn't get much work even when healthy, so his absence won't have a major impact on the team's rotation against Cleveland.

James Bouknight (ankle) is doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

An ankle injury will leave Bouknight's status for Sunday's game up in the air. He struggles to get any playing time in the Hornets' rotation even when healthy, however, so neither his possible presence or absence should have a big impact on any fantasy-relevant players for Charlotte.
