Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets added five new players between Friday night’s loss and Saturday night’s second game of a back-to-back, and they cruised to a 115-106 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
It was a busy day for the Charlotte Hornets, who were active at the trade deadline, trading away veteran Gordon Hayward, and PJ Washington, who resigned with the Hornets earlier this summer. Those moves were expected given Charlotte's standing in the Eastern Conference, as it made sense to trade for the future. The moves may make it even harder for the Hornets to compete down the stretch, but it opens the door for more growth for Brandon Miller, who is enjoying a historic rookie season in the NBA.
The Charlotte Hornets made another trade before the deadline! According to Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic, the Dallas Mavericks are getting P.J. Washington from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Grant Williams, Seth Curry, and a first-round selection. Washington, 25, has played in 44 games this season with averages of 13.6 points, 5.3 […]
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Oklahoma City Thunder are closing in on a deal to send Gordon Hayward from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for guard Tre Mann and forward Davis Bertans. Due to injuries to both legs, Hayward has been out of action since December 26. There is no set date for his […]
It may be another lost season for the Charlotte Hornets, but a bright spot, outside of the star Brandon Miller is destined to become, has been fellow first-round pick, Nick Smith Jr, who has made the most of his opportunities, and currently leads all rookies in three-point shooting percentage. Smith was taken out of Arkansas late in the first round last June after injuries derailed his NBA Draft stock, which at one point projected him to be a top-5 draft selection.
The Charlotte Hornets dropped their eighth straight contest Monday, falling 124-118 to the Los Angeles Lakers at Spectrum Center.
Brandon Miller poured in a career-high 35 points for the Charlotte Hornets, but they couldn’t hold down the most efficient offense in the NBA, falling 115-98 to the Indiana Pacers.
For the 35th time this season, the Hornets took to the basketball court, and fell short of their ultimate goal, losing tonight to the Knicks 113-92, to drop their third straight game at home, and their fourth overall. New York, who is in the process of learning to play without Julius Randle, held just a 5-point lead at the half, as both offenses came out sluggish, producing a 46-41 halftime score. Charlotte is among the worst third-quarter teams in the NBA, and that reared its ugly head again tonight, as the visitors outscored them 44-24 in the third period, to effectively put the game away.
After trading away Terry Rozier earlier in the week, it's safe to say that the Hornets are waving the white flag on the 2023-24 season, and a rebuild awaits the team as we get closer to the trade deadline. Charlotte entered the season with faint hopes of competing for a spot in the Play-In Tournament, and that all went sideways after an early rash of injuries took the team out of contention by mid-December.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Charlotte Hornets are trading guard Terry Rozier to the Miami Heat in return for Kyle Lowry and a 2027 first-round pick. This season, Rozier is averaging 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, and a 45.9% field goal percentage, all career bests. There were several rumors in recent weeks about a possible trade […]
