Good to go
Salaun (Achilles) is available for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.
Analysis
Salaun was previously considered probable for Wednesday's contest, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. Salaun is coming off his first double-double of the season, as he logged 13 points and 11 rebounds across 22 minutes.

Probable for Wednesday
Salaun is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to left Achilles tendinopathy.
Analysis
The Achilles issue is a new concern for Salaun, though he's still likely to suit up in the front end of this back-to-back set. The second-year forward has appeared in eight outings this month, during which he has averaged 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per contest.

Posts double-double in win
Salaun finished with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 110-87 victory over Denver.
Analysis
Salaun added 13 points and led the team with 11 rebounds off the bench in Sunday's win over the Nuggets. It marked the 20-year-old forward's first double-double this season and third of his career. Salaun has been a fairly steady part of Charlotte's rotation since being recalled from the G League at the start of December, averaging 7.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 threes, 1.0 assists and 0.4 steals in 17.9 minutes per game across 21 contests.
