The Charlotte Hornets will be without forward Kai Jones for the start of training camp after a series of bizarre social media posts, the team announced Saturday.

Jones appeared to dance and ramble incoherently on Instagram earlier this month. 

He also called himself the greatest basketball player of all time, vowed to win the NBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year awards and said he believed he could beat LeBron James one-on-one.

"There is not currently a timetable for his return to the team," the Hornets said in a statement. "Out of respect for the personal nature of the situation, the Hornets will not have any additional public comments regarding the matter at this time."

Additionally, the 2021 first-round draft pick wrote he was a better shooter than LaMelo Ball and rookie Brandon Miller.

"I’ve had a higher fg% than those guys since I came out the womb and none of them can guard me so know your ball before you talk," Jones said.

The Hornets open up camp next week.

Jones was a standout collegiate player at Texas before he turned pro. Charlotte acquired him after the New York Knicks selected him with the No. 19 overall pick in 2021.

He’s played in 67 games for the Hornets over the last two years, averaging 2.7 points per game.

Charlotte opens its preseason schedule against the Miami Heat Oct. 10. Its regular season begins Oct. 25 against the Atlanta Hawks.

Tensions were running high at Talladega Superspeedway as some of the top NASCAR Truck Series drivers were vying for position in the postseason.

Nick Sanchez was among drivers looking for an edge in the final elimination before the Championship Four 21 days away. 

Sanchez was in the mix headed into Talladega and made contact with Matt Crafton's car coming down the front stretch with three laps to go.

The contact triggered a big wreck. Crafton wasn't able to finish the race. Sanchez finished seventh and jumped to fourth place in the standings.

Frustrations boiled over in the garage.

A video from Frontstretch showed Sanchez being held back after a brawl.

"I’m gonna f---ing kill you in Homestead," Sanchez shouted, referencing the final race of the round of eight. "You f---ed with the wrong guy mother---er."

Sanchez was left bloodied.

He left the infield care center with some scratches on his nose and explained to reporters what happened.

"I was walking back to the hauler, tapped on my back, got punched in the face," he said. "Cheap shot, but it is what it is. I’m all for fighting, but no cheap shots. I got a cheap shot. Never had a chance to get him back. It is what it is. It’s a part of racing."

Brett Moffitt came away with the victory after starting the Love’s RV Stop 250 in 31st. He led 22 laps on his way to a victory.

Two races remain on the Truck Series schedule this season — Homestead-Miami for the Baptist Health 200 and then the championship race at Phoenix Nov. 3.

Corey Heim leads the round of eight and is 23 points ahead of Carson Hocevar. Christian Eckes and Sanchez round out the top four. Grant Enfinger is three points behind the final spot. Ben Rhodes is five points away, Ty Majeski is 19 and Zane Smith is 36.
