The Charlotte Hornets benched veteran forward Naz Reid during the second half of their loss to the Detroit Pistons after he failed to meet the team's standards, according to reports.

Reid, who was acquired in a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves this past offseason, did not play in the final two quarters as the Hornets fell to the Pistons.

The decision underscores the organization's emphasis on accountability as they integrate new players into the roster.
