Kai Jones’ days with the Charlotte Hornets could be over — at least if he gets his wish.
On Monday, Jones announced on X, formerly known Twitter, that he’s requested a trade from the organization that brought him on board in 2021. A Hornets spokesperson declined to comment.
Jones didn’t travel with the team to Miami for Tuesday’s preseason opener against the Heat and hasn’t participated in any of the players’ optional sessions. The third-year big man has made some curious social media posts over the past month, including a couple where he critiqued some of his teammates.
