Salaun registered four points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across nine minutes during Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game loss to the Magic. With the Hornets trailing early, Salaun saw action in Friday's season-ending loss after not seeing the floor in Tuesday's Play-In Game win over the Heat. After appearing in 60 regular-season games (10 starts) during his rookie season, the second-year forward split time between the NBA and G League in 2025-26. Over 37 regular-season appearances off the bench this season, the 20-year-old averaged 6.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.4 steals in 15.5 minutes per game. He was much more efficient in his second season, shooting 50.3 percent from the field and 43.4 percent from downtown on 2.2 three-point attempts per tilt.

Tidjane Salaün: Breaking News
Recalled by Charlotte
The Hornets recalled Salaun from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Saturday. Salaun helped the Swarm to a 119-104 win over the Stockton Kings in Game 2 of the G League Finals on Friday, when he played 35 minutes and finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks. He hasn't appeared in an NBA-level game since March 3, but Salaun will be available for the Hornets' regular-season finale against the Knicks on Sunday.
Dispatched to G League
The Hornets assigned Salaun (calf) to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday. The 2024 first-round pick hasn't made an appearance for the Hornets or the Swarm since March 3 while on the mend from a left calf strain, but his assignment to the G League indicates that he'll likely practice with the affiliate Monday and potentially return to action in its playoff opener Tuesday versus the Maine Celtics. Salaun will likely rejoin the Hornets once the Swarm's playoff run comes to an end, but he's not expected to be a regular part of the rotation when Charlotte is at full strength.
