According to ESPN, projected lottery pick Tidjane Salaün suffered an ankle injury in a workout with the San Antonio Spurs earlier this week. This injury has forced him to cancel scheduled workout this week with both Detroit and Charlotte. Salaun had already worked out for Portland, Sacramento and Oklahoma City before being shut down.

In 2023-24, Tidjane Salaün averaged 9.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He shot 40.2 percent from the field, 33.1 percent from three, and 80.2 percent from the foul line. He is one of the youngest prospects in the draft and has flashed a high defensive motor and intriguing shot making potential while standing at 6'10 with a 7'2 wingspan.
