Interestingly they call the California classic as more of a camp than a summer league
Well poop
With happy Hornets news, there always must be a little sad Hornets news.
Was excited to see them both play in SL. Will have to wait for LV
They’re fitting right in
Please make it stop
LACERATION?! How bad did he cut himself?
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Damn it. I was hoping for once we would have an actual point guard who passed the ball for summer league.
Minor Laceration?!?!? Tidjane if you don’t get your ass in those games!!!
It’s always some bullshit
New staff…..same luck
They ain’t a Hornet until they’re listed on the injury report and missing multiple weeks
These are the competitors Jeff was talking about?
Reading this made my lose my mind due to the last two years constant constant injuries BUT I’m choosing to read this as “Hornets are really being careful about injuries, will not allow them to get out of hand and are addressing them quickly”
All good if he’s there for Vegas
WHAT IS THIS CURSE UPON US?!
Haha. Is this real life
🙁

Please note:
“Salaün, the 18-year-old Frenchman, suffered a minor laceration near his knee, but it’s not serious enough to knock him out of action for the whole summer. Although he’ll be forced to skip the California Classic, he’s expected to be available to make his debut during the Hornets’ appearance at the Las Vegas Summer League. Charlotte’s first game comes July 13 against New York”
we are so back
There’s no way
I see you Hornets. Fool me once, strike one. Fool me twice, strike three.
Hospital Hornets
Damn, really thought we would get a good look at Simpson in the summer league and be able to see if he can run an offense. Him running our second team is a great option.
Was extremely excited to see both of them play. I’m glad Tidjane can at least play in vegas but i’m disappointed for KJ. You don’t get that many opportunities to show yourself especially as a 2nd rounder. This dude said he wanted to run through a brick wall but now unavailable for both SL’s. Smh
This is ridiculous.
Welp, I guess KJ held up his end of the deal and ran through a brick wall. Too bad his hamstrings took a hit in the process /s
