[Saba Sports News] Charlotte Hornets center Kai Jones has responded to concerns regarding a troubling Instagram Live video he shared.
In a tweet, Jones clarified that he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the video and stated he was simply enjoying his evening at home.
The 22-year-old’s video had sparked alarm as it showed him speaking erratically and occasionally bursting into laughter.
Despite his limited on-court performance, Jones was a first-round pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, and the Hornets had exercised his team option for 2023-24, with a decision on his 2024-25 option due by October 31.
