After a disappointing 19-63 finish last season, the Charlotte Hornets have once again struggled to find their footing, opening this campaign with a 3-5 record.
Stop me if you've heard this before... the Charlotte Hornets are set to be without LaMelo Ball tonight against the Miami Heat. After initially being listed as questionable for tonight's game in South Beach, the team announced moments ago that he has been downgraded to doubtful as he continues to nurse an injured ankle.
After suffering the most embarrassing loss possible, losing to the previously winless Pelicans, the Charlotte Hornets are preparing for the Miami Heat on Friday, a rematch of a game that saw the Hornets get obliterated.
It's that time of the year again for fans of the Charlotte Hornets. Following a few promising performances to start the year, the team has suffered its first injury setbacks and its first really bad loss of the year against the previously winless Pelicans.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
The Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida was a house of horrors for the Charlotte Hornets earlier this season. Charlotte waltzed into South Beach with their chests puffed out, riding the high of a 2-1 start behind stellar play from Kon Knueppel and LaMelo Ball, looking to put the league on notice.
The Charlotte Hornets’ season has been a mixed bag through eight games. Charlotte has a 3-5 record entering Friday, and early injuries to Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball are toying with fans’ worst fears about the durability of those two. On the other hand, Charlotte’s rookie class has been the obvious highlight of the young season.
The Charlotte Hornets have had one thing going for them this year. It's not health, sadly. It's also not the duo of LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. It's the rookie class.
The Charlotte Hornets suffered the most embarrassing loss of the year earlier this week, falling to previously winless New Orleans. Had Charlotte won this game, the noise around Pelicans head coach Willie Green would have gotten even louder.
Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball missed his second straight game on Tuesday as the Hornets lost a winnable road game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Charlotte Hornets ended up with the fourth pick in the NBA draft, which meant they couldn't take either Cooper Flagg or Dylan Harper. There was discussion about Ace Bailey, Kon Knueppel, Tre Johnson, and others at fourth overall, but the Hornets ended up going with Knueppel.
Tre is someone that fans need to be patient with right now. His injury caused him to be unable to do simple tasks, such as putting on socks or laying down.
The Charlotte Hornets have fallen six spots in ESPN’s weekly NBA Power Rankings. Charlotte was No. 18 last week and landed at No. 24 in the new rankings published Wednesday by ESPN’s NBA insiders.
If there was ever a winnable game, it was what the Charlotte Hornets had last night. They were on the road, but they were facing the 0-6 New Orleans Pelicans (the last winless team in the West), and Zion Williamson was out.
Kon Knueppel has had a very impressive start for a rookie drafted by the Hornets. But it has been overshadowed by Cooper Flagg’s struggles and VJ Edgecombe’s start.
The Charlotte Hornets were hoping for a season that was filled with more joy than the 2024-25 campaign, which was injury-plagued. Last year saw the Hornets lose both LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller for the season and currently, they are without both of them.
It hasn't taken Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel longs to establish himself in the NBA as the real deal. Through his first seven games, Knueppel is shooting 43.1 percent from three.
Entering Tuesday night's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Charlotte Hornets had yet to win back-to-back games all season. It was a Hornets-Pelicans matchup with no stars, as while the Hornets were still missing LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, the Pelicans were missing former number one overall pick Zion Williamson.
The Charlotte Hornets have officially sent their 2024 sixth overall draft pick, Tidjane Salaun, down to the Greensboro Swarm for what feels like the umpteenth time.
Miles Bridges scored 29 points and Kon Knueppel added 24 as the Charlotte Hornets, despite playing without guard LaMelo Ball, whipped the visiting Utah Jazz 126-103 on Sunday night.
The Charlotte Hornets picked up the options of Brandon Miller and Tidjane Salaun, the team announced today. While it is not surprising that the Hornets chose to keep the pair in the fold, they did wait until the last day to make the decision.
The Hornets have picked up their rookie scale team options on wing Brandon Miller and forward Tidjane Salaun, the team announced Friday in a press release.
Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball has been fined $35K by the NBA for making an obscene gesture during the team’s loss to the Heat in Miami on Tuesday, the league announced today in a press release (Twitter link).
The Miami Heat traded a first-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Terry Rozier in 2024. Now that he's been arrested, the team may be looking for a refund.
