Hornets' Isaiah Wong: Probable against Orlando

Hornets' Isaiah Wong: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire
Wong (foot) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.
Wong had logged at least 15 minutes in his previous two outings off the bench, but he won't be available for this one. The second-year guard doesn't see enough minutes to be a reliable option in most fantasy formats, though, so his absence isn't expected to cause a huge impact. His next chance to play will come against the Magic on Wednesday in the Hornets' final game before the All-Star break.

Hornets' Isaiah Wong: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Wong is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets due to right foot soreness.
Wong is nursing the injury after he played 24 minutes in Sunday's 112-102 loss to the Pistons, finishing with 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal. The Hornets were without LaMelo Ball (ankle), Nick Smith (back) and Josh Green (calf) for that contest, but Ball has been cleared to play Monday, while Smith and Green are listed as questionable. Even if Wong gets the green light to suit up Monday, he might find himself out of the rotation if one or both of Smith and Green are active.

Hornets' Isaiah Wong: Sees 19 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Wong ended Wednesday's 104-83 loss to Brooklyn with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes.
Wong played a handful of extra minutes, which could be a somewhat common theme given that the Hornets are dealing with both injuries and a lack of motivation to win games. Although playing time is unlikely to translate to meaningful production, Wong should at least get a chance to prove himself as the season progresses.

Hornets' Isaiah Wong: Extended run in loss
Rotowire
Wong ended Friday's 109-95 loss to Chicago with nine points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes.
Wong played a career-high 22 minutes, scoring nine points for the third straight game. The Hornets continue to struggle at the point guard position, trying to stay afloat until LaMelo Ball returns from his calf injury. Although it is unlikely Wong will take the starting job away from Vasilije Micic, he is someone to keep an eye on, at least until Ball makes his return to the court.

Hornets' Isaiah Wong: Headed to Charlotte
Rotowire
Wong agreed to a two-way deal with the Hornets on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Wong has been playing in the G League with the Salt Lake City Stars since being waived by the Jazz in early October. He's gotten off to a strong start to the G League campaign, averaging 24.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 steals over 31.4 minutes. Charlotte's addition of Wong gives the team additional depth at point guard with LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back) both out for multiple weeks, though Vasilije Micic and KJ Simpson are presumably in line ahead of Wong for minutes in head coach Charles Lee's rotation.

Isaiah Wong: Waived by Utah
Rotowire
Wong was waived by the Jazz on Tuesday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Wong was previously on an Exhibit 10 contract with the Jazz but was considered a long shot to make the team. He's expected to play for Salt Lake City in the G League this season.
Wong agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Jazz on Monday, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.
Wong was selected by the Pacers with the 55th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and spent most of last year in the G League. He averaged 14.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 27.0 minutes per game over 30 appearances in the G League and will attempt to carve out a role with the Jazz during camp this year. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land back in the G League this season.
Wong tallied 24 points (6-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 7-11 FT) and three assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's 100-85 Summer League loss to the Pistons.
Wong was a bright spot for the Pacers in the team's Summer League finale, posting team-high marks in scoring and assists. The 22-year-old will likely spend most of his time with Indiana's G League affiliate with guards Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard likely to get most of the run with the parent club.

Pacers' Isaiah Wong: Drafted 55th by Indiana
Rotowire
Wong was drafted 55th overall by the Pacers in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Wong played four seasons at Miami, putting up averages of 16.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 triples in 2022-23. A 6-foot-4 guard, Wong may struggle to find playing time despite the rebuild in Indiana, as Tyrese Haliburton is the face of the franchise and T.J. McConnell is one of the most reliable backups in the NBA.
