Former first-round pick Kai Jones won’t be with the Hornets during training camp as part of an indefinite absence, according to The Athletic.
Hornets head coach Steve Clifford said Tuesday that the situation had been “handled internally,” though he didn’t give an update on Jones after he reportedly didn’t participate in optional workouts throughout the summer.during the No. 1 overall pick’s debut, collecting a lob and slamming the ball around the big man in the third quarter of their July game.
Kai Jones posted an Instagram Live video where he appeared to sweat and talk at an extremely quick speed that made his words difficult to understand.“I’m having the most fun ever,” Jones told the Charlotte Observer during the NBA Summer League. “I’m enjoying it so much. I enjoy waking up and hooping every day. That’s what I love to do. I did it in the spring leading up to this, took a little break, came back and started working out every day, every day. “That’s just what I love to do.
But if the summer basketball provided a glimpse at the role Jones — originally a Knicks draft pick and traded that same day — could fill for the Hornets, the recent developments have created a puzzling outlook for his short-term future with the team. In 12 minutes per game last year, Jones, who hasn’t started yet in his NBA career, averaged 3.4 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.
Charlotte will utilize Mark Williams and Nick Richards as the top centers, according to its ESPN depth chart.
