Charlotte Hornets head coach Charles Lee benched starting power forward Naz Reid for the entire second half of Wednesday's road loss to the Detroit Pistons. Lee explained after the game that Reid did not meet team standards during the first half, prompting the coaching staff to hold him out for the remainder of the contest.
According to Roderick Boone, the benching reportedly stemmed from something Reid said during the game. Boone reported that Lee and Reid addressed the matter directly following the matchup and intend to move forward, as Reid continues the second season of his five-year, $125 million contract after being acquired from Minnesota in the LaMelo Ball trade.
