Hornets' Kai Jones missing training camp after bizarre social media posts

The Charlotte Hornets will be without forward Kai Jones for the start of training camp after a series of bizarre social media posts, the team announced Saturday.

Jones appeared to dance and ramble incoherently on Instagram earlier this month.

He also called himself the greatest basketball player of all time, vowed to win the NBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards and said he believed he could beat LeBron James one-on-one.

"There is not currently a timetable for his return to the team," the Hornets said in a statement.
