CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kai Jones apparently wants out of Charlotte.
Jones, the Hornets’ 19th overall pick out of Texas in 2021, announced on X, formerly known Twitter, that he has officially requested a trade from the organization.
The Hornets have declined to comment on the matter.
The Hornets announced last week that the 6-foot-11 forward/center would not join the team for training camp following some bizarre behavior on social media, including a mostly indecipherable video on Instagram Live and other criticism of teammates on X.
“Kai Jones will not participate in training camp due to personal reasons,” the Hornets’ statement read.
