The regular season is less than 10 percent done, but the Charlotte Hornets may have already determined that Tidjane Salaun is still not an NBA-level contributor. They have recently assigned him to the G League after playing him in their first seven games.
The move means that Salaun will not be with the Hornets for their upcoming road trip, consisting of matchups against the New Orleans Pelicans and Miami Heat.
Another possible reason behind the Salaun decision is that Charlotte needs to call KJ Simpson up to the main roster in case LaMelo Ball, who has been listed as questionable for the Pelicans bout, has to miss at least one more contest.
