The Internet had some pretty hilarious reactions to the form.

Black Sports Online spoke with an NBA executive about the reasoning behind the questionnaire.

The wording on the Hornets questionnaire is bad, but I am sure they didn’t expect a player to put it on IG. It isn’t unusual for players to alert teams their wife and girlfriend will be attending a game, we need that information to make sure they are seated as far apart as possible. Some players prefer their wives in a suite and side chick closer to the floor or vice versa. I know people think this is unusual and had a good laugh at Hornets expense, but this happens almost every game.
While the Hornets maybe made a mistake on how they worded it, NBA Executive tells me that teams do get the information on any women a player might have at game including wives, girlfriends, IG models and etc

Makes sense to keep the drama in the stands from affecting the players on the court.
