Kai Jones News
Charlotte Hornets center Kai Jones has requested a trade from the organization on Monday. The 22-year-old has been away from the team recently due to personal reasons. Jones has put himself in a bad spot after calling out teammates on social media and missing workouts. It sounds like the Hornets are trying to separate themselves from the former 19th overall pick. Jones is unlikely to have much trade value considering he hasn't made a significant impact in two seasons. Possibly, another team takes a chance on him, but there's probably not going to be a big market considering his recent off-the-court incidents.
Charlotte Hornets forward/center Kai Jones will sit out training camp for personal reasons, the team announced. The announcement came after Jones had recently made several bizarre social media posts. The 22-year-old was the 19th pick in the 2021 draft and has been a backup big for the team, playing in 67 games and averaging 9.1 minutes in his first two seasons in the league. One of his posts criticized Hornets starting center Mark Williams, which can't be good for team morale. On social media, Jones has also called himself a better player than Hornets star LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, the team's top pick in this year's draft.
