Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Hornets players have unfollowed Kai Jones on Instagram after he got high on percs during live IG video.
In the offseason, players are pretty much free to do and consume whatever they please — but not everybody can handle the freedom. In the case of Kai Jones, whether he was high, drunk, or completely sober, that IG live video is probably something he should have thought twice about. Now, fans are questioning not only his maturity but the maturity level of the entire organization.
Charlotte has added four players in the 2023 NBA Draft, including No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller. The Hornets also picked former Arkansas guard Nick Smith Jr. (No. 27 pick), former Xavier guard Colby Jones (No. 34 pick), former Washington State forward Mouhamed Gueye (No. 39) and former UCLA guard Amari Bailey (No. 41).
Some X users were concerned about Jones’ demeanor in the video. He was dancing, sweating and appeared to be incoherent when he talked.
Obviously, nobody knows for sure what Jones’ state of mind was in the video, and it’s possible that his thick Caribbean accent has fooled us all into thinking he was less than sober at the moment. Either way, you cannot deny how weird the whole clip is and it really shows how the Hornets franchise is perceived by the NBA community.
“If I get that call on my phone, I will have my bye, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen anytime soon,” Jones said. `
Jones was picked by the Hornets with the No. 19 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He averaged 3.4 points in 12 minutes per game this past season.
