Charlotte Hornets’ Kai Jones is going viral on Twitter. This is the video of his IG Live in which people are speculating that he takes drugs.
Drugs
According to fans, Charlotte Hornets star Kai Jones appeared drunk during an Instagram Live session earlier this month. Jones has played for the Hornets for two seasons so far and has not put up suitable statistics to secure a spot on the roster in the upcoming season. With this in mind, trade speculations are now emerging. However, Jones is not worried about potentially being sent away.
Kai Jones expressed his excitement at not being traded by Charlotte, but his behavior on his Instagram Live was questioned by viewers. While speaking to the audience, Jones was a little extra in his energy and seemed to be struggling to speak. As a result, many people began claiming that the Hornets star may have been drugged during his live session. However, the 22-year-old has denied all the rumours.
“I wasn’t on drugs or drunk. I was just enjoying my night in my crib,” Jones wrote on X.
Salary
It’s more likely that the Hornets will not pick up Jones’ $4.7 million option for next season, waive him (he is owed $3 million this season), and make him a free agent.
