Hornets' Tidjane Salaun: Late scratch Saturday

Salaun won't play Saturday against the Bulls due to left ankle soreness.

Salaun was a late scratch for this contest. He had been playing well for the Hornets, posting averages of 8.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists over his last six appearances. With this news, Liam McNeeley could be a bit more involved for the Hornets.
