Excitement is brewing in the Charlotte Hornets community as the team’s newest addition, Tidjane Salaün, has chosen his jersey number for the upcoming NBA season. The 18-year-old French talent is set to don the number 31, continuing a tradition from his time with Chole Basket in France.

With this decision, Salaün joins a small group of esteemed players in Hornets history who have worn the number 31, including legends like Kurt Rambis and Malik Rose.

Salaün’s potential is sky-high, and many are hopeful that he will make a lasting impact and become one of the franchise’s standout players in the years to come. His raw talent, work ethic, and playing style are expected to complement the current core of stars in Charlotte, such as LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, and Mark Williams.

Fans eager to see Salaün in action will have their first chance at the California Summer League on July 6th, where the Hornets will face off against Stephon Castle and the San Antonio Spurs before heading to the highly anticipated Las Vegas Summer League starting on July 12th.

The Summer League also marks an important opportunity for Salaün to build a strong relationship with the team’s new head coach, Charles Lee, which will be crucial for his development and integration into the Hornets’ playing style.
