> Hornets guard James Bouknight has been arrested in Mecklenburg County. Booking doesn’t say what his charges are yet. We have reached out to the team for comment as well as the sheriff’s office
> Bouknight was supposed to make an appearance at ChickFilA on Woodlawn Rd later today.
Twitter streets are saying [he got a DUI](https://twitter.com/iohandles/status/1582032671336955907). Is Bouk cooked? Also, it’s objectively funny that a guy named Audi is tweeting about a vehicular crime.

What a complete nightmare
Bruh the jokes write themselves at this point
Hornets rly goin all in on wembanyama
Jordan running a gang lmao
What’s in the Charlotte water?
Hornets really trying to go charge for charge with the Jail Blazers.
This fucking team man
TMZ where you at 👀
Hornets are the new age Jail Blazers. Warriors assistant Atkinson who backed out of the head coaching job looks like a genius now.
I wonder if Atkinson withdrew from the coaching offer cause he heard lots of rumblings about player behavior behind the scene. There’s no way he could have predicted all this but it just seems so weird to accept then go back.
Worst franchise offseason ever
Definitely time for Ball to come down with a nice high ankle sprain that doesn’t require surgery but does require him to sit the year out.
BRING BIZ AND KEMBA BACK
Tweeting about a vehicular crime that got booked at night.
They doing everything except play basketball in Charlotte lmao
What the hell is going on over there?
Culturally our team is absolutely fucked, I don’t know how else we move on from this beyond ripping everything up (yes yes I know our roster isn’t good anyway, we are on Wemby Watch now)
What’s going on with Hornets players getting arrested lol. Who’s next?
And they cut LiAngelo?? He would have fit right in…
The Charlotte Inmates strike again.
When did the Hornets turn into a SEC football team?
I bought season tickets for this shit show back before the Bridges news. It’s getting worse by the day.
We need an Antonio Brown like copy-paste for the 2022-23 Hornets.
– Get blown out of 2022 Play-In game, Miles Bridges chucks his mouthpiece at a fan after his ejection, hits a different fan
– Team fires James Borrego weeks after the season ends, having extended his contract for several years the previous offseason.
– Montrezl Harrell gets arrested for felony drug charges (later reduced to misdemeanor)
– Team hires Kenny Atkinson after a near two-month search, just a week or so before the draft
– Miles Bridges accidentally posts Instagram picture of him drinking lean. Deletes the picture and says “Pink Lemonade lol”
– Kenny Atkinson pulls out after winning title with Golden State. Team scrambles to hire a new head coach on the fly after turning down Mike D’Antoni to sign Atkinson.
– Team hastily hires former fired Hornets coach Steve Clifford again, on a deal with an out after just one year, instilling no confidence in the hire.
– Team trades 13th pick for scraps after believing they had too many young players to develop. Scraps are a late 2023 1st, and 4 2nds, for a team that already has a lot of fringe talent to develop and not enough top end talent.
– On the eve of his free agency, Miles Bridges gets arrested for beating his wife, wife posts Instagram pictures and medical documents detailing the damage he did and videos involving his kids who saw the incident.
– Team, understandably in shock, proceeds to make no moves all season long instead of making moves to pick a direction to either rebuild or compete without Bridges.
– 2022 lotto pick James Bouknight injures hand right before summer league and loses entire offseason of development.
– 2022 2nd round pick Scottie Lewis breaks leg in summer league practice and misses offseason, and probably the upcoming season. Wasn’t under contract, but still… jesus
– Miles Bridges’ court dates get pushed back all offseason long, with no clarity on the situation in sight.
– Hornets go into training camp with Mason Plumlee, Mark Williams, Nick Richards, and Kai Jones as its centers. Steve Clifford preeminently locks Plumlee in as the starter, despite a horrific 2021-22 season, 1st round picks invested in Williams and Jones, and a need for rim protection.
– Hornets go into training camp without a backup playmaker, leaving the offense to die without someone to facilitate and get the young backups the ball in positions to score.
– Hornets go 0-5 in the preseason.
– LaMelo Ball sprains an ankle in preseason, causing him to miss regular season action
– James Bouknight arrested for DUI.
Hornet’s culture. If you don’t like this you don’t like Charlotte basketball.
Just Uber it. Wtf is you doing?
