Salaün was initially probable, and he’ll continue to play his small role off the bench. He’s had some strong performances in year two, but he hasn’t produced consistently enough to be a standard league option at this point.

Salaün was also probable for Thursday’s loss to the Pacers, a game in which he played 13 minutes off the bench. With Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) and Grant Williams (knee) also probable for Saturday’s game, there may be even fewer minutes available to the 2024 lottery pick.

Initially probable for Thursday’s game, Salaün is officially available. While he should play rotation minutes off the bench due to Charlotte’s lack of healthy bigs, the second-year forward will not affect fantasy basketball.

Salaün has been battling an ankle injury, but he missed just one game over the weekend. He seems likely to play in both legs of a back-to-back, but with Brandon Miller (knee) also back, there likely won’t be a lot of usage for Salaün.

Salaün has been dealing with an ankle injury, but he’s been able to play through it. That will be the case on Wednesday against the Raptors, and he should be expected to handle his usual allotment of minutes off the bench.

Salaün was able to play in Monday’s win over the Thunder, grabbing six rebounds in 13 minutes of action. Even if he’s cleared to play against Toronto, there’s no need to roster Salaün in redraft leagues.

Salaün did not play in Saturday’s win over the Bulls, sitting out with a sore left ankle. Josh Green played 25 minutes off the bench, and the Hornets had to go small when fill-in PJ Hall was not on the floor, given the team’s many absences in the frontcourt.

Salauün is out due to a sore left ankle. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Hornets down another frontcourt player. With Ryan Kalkbrenner, Moussa Diabaté and Mason Plumlee already out, the Hornets will have to lean heavily on Miles Bridges and PJ Hall.

Salaün should handle his usual role off the bench. He’s been productive this season, but he hasn’t done enough to be worth rostering in standard fantasy leagues.

Salaün is dealing with a sore left hip. While he is not positioned to affect fantasy basketball, the second-year forward would be missing out on rotation minutes off the bench if he cannot play on Sunday.

Salaün spent most of November in the G League but returned to the Hornets for the last three games. During that stretch, he has averaged 14.7 points and 3.0 three-pointers per game. It’s an incredible hot stretch for Salaün, which is great to see after many have already labeled the 20-year-old a bust. He’s worth keeping an eye on, even if he isn’t worth rostering in standard leagues at this point.

On Monday, Salaün saw his first NBA action since November 2, and he took advantage of the opportunity. The second-year forward was one of five Hornets reserves to score at least eight points on a night when three starters (Miles Bridges, Ryan Kalkbrenner and Sion James) combined to score 15. Salaün’s Monday night does not make him a player worth adding, but there may come a point later in the season when the Hornets prioritize his playing time for developmental reasons.

There’s no sugar-coating that Salaün’s rookie season was disappointing, as he averaged 5.9 points and 4.7 rebounds in 20.6 minutes per game. Hopefully, he can use Las Vegas as a springboard into his second NBA season as the Hornets look to improve their standing in a wide-open Eastern Conference. Three-point shooting is an area where Salaün can potentially provide value, even though he was 1-of-6 from beyond the arc on Saturday.

Salaun logged 24 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Raptors, with the absence of multiple rotation players resulting in more playing time for the rookie. Josh Okogie (hamstring) is probable for Sunday’s game and can absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to Salaun if the rookie cannot play.

A number of key injuries have opened up rotational minutes for Salaun, who has logged at least 24 in each of his last three games. The rebounds easily represent a new career high, and the rookie out of France recorded his second double-double of the season and first since December 3.

Salaun was initially probable for Sunday’s game, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. While he will be in the Hornets’ rotation, the rookie is unlikely to get the reps needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Salaun is on track to return after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Thunder. While the rookie would play rotation minutes, he’s unlikely to be productive enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.

Garrett is on a 10-day contract and may have already played his last game with Charlotte, and Salaun hasn’t played since March 8. Charlotte will be sorely shorthanded in this one, so the Hornets’ available players will be forced to handle additional minutes.

Salaun was recalled from the Hornets’ G League affiliate but will not play on Thursday due to a sprained right ankle. His absence will only impact fantasy basketball if the Hornets are forced to play without Miles Bridges. Bridges is probable for Thursday’s game with an illness.

Salaun will miss a second straight game with a sprained ankle, while Okogie has not appeared in a game since January 31. The absences will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, but more minutes will be available to Seth Curry and Damion Baugh. The latter is worth watching ahead of the “silly season,” as he may be asked to play significant minutes to run out the string.
