Tidjane Salaun Charlotte Hornets 2024-2025 Game Worn City Edition Jersey

This away ‘City Edition’ jersey was worn by Tidjane Salaun on December 13, 2024, when the Charlotte Hornets played the Chicago Bulls. 

Salaun finished with 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 assist. The Hornets lost to the Bulls, 109-95. 

Born in Paris, France in 2005 Salaün is among the next generation of stars out of Paris. At just 16, Salaün began playing for Cholet Basket's youth team in LNB Espoirs, the French under-21 league.

In 2023 at 18, Salaün was a top player for Cholet Basket's senior team both in the LNB Élite and the FIBA Champions League, averaging 9.6 points, and 3.9 rebounds in his first season. Salaün also played for the France national team in the 2023 FIBA U18 European Championship where he won "FIBA Champions League Best Young Player."

Tidjane Salaün was drafted with the 6th overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft out of Paris. 

As international talent continues to dominate the league, Salaün was the third French player selected in the top 10. With his length, shooting touch, and athleticism, Salaün is already adding important talent to a rebuilding Hornets team with young stars, Lamelo Ball and Brandon Miller.

At the time of cataloging, Salaün is averaging 5.9 points per game, 4.7 rebounds per game, and 1.2 assists per game.
