The Charlotte Hornets have assigned rookies Malik Monk and Dwayne Bacon to their G-League affiliate the Greensboro Swarm, per the team:
The Swarm’s next game is tomorrow at home against the Wisconsin Herd.
The assignment isn’t all that surprising. The Hornets shortened their rotation in recent games in order to play the starters more minutes. That pushed Bacon and Monk pretty much out of the rotation, with only Monk getting a few minutes sporadically. This gives them a chance to get heavy minutes and gain some confidence moving forward.
I don’t expect the assignment to last too long unless the Hornets are planning another move.
