’ immediate status with the Charlotte Hornets is a bit murky.
Jones hasn’t participated in any of the players’ optional sessions and it’s unclear if he’ll be among the Hornets’ contingent to hit the floor for the start of training camp next Tuesday. The third-year big man has made some very curious social media posts during the past few weeks, including a couple where called out some of his teammates.
In a Twitter post, Jones said he’s better than Shaquille O’Neal and and refused to back down from the comment. There’s also an Instagram video where Jones is sweating profusely and it is hard to make out what he’s saying.
