He finished with averages of 6.9 points and 1.4 rebounds per contest while shooting 45.6% from the field and 39.5% from the three-point range in 44 games.

This week, the Charlotte Hornets officially announced that they had signed Reeves.

Via The Charlotte Hornets (on July 25): "OFFICIAL: We have signed free-agent guard Antonio Reeves to a Two-Way contract. In a corresponding move, the team waived guard Damion Baugh."

Reeves (who is 24) was the 47th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft out of Kentucky.

Many people commented on the announcement from the Hornets.
