Tre Mann Re-Signs With Hornets on 3-Year, $24M Deal

One year ago, Tre Mann was a promising midseason acquisition. Today, he’s a cornerstone of the Charlotte Hornets’ rebuild.

The Hornets have officially re-signed Mann to a three-year, $24 million deal, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. The move comes just days after the franchise declined to extend the $6.96 million qualifying offer that would’ve made Mann a restricted free agent, sparking speculation about his future in teal and purple.

Turns out, the front office had a longer-term vision in mind.

The 24-year-old guard showed flashes of brilliance in a limited 2024-25 campaign, averaging 14.1 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.9 rebounds per game across just 13 appearances. His shooting splits (.435/.400/.905) were the best of his career, highlighting his growth as a reliable perimeter threat and efficient shot-creator.

Mann’s impact went beyond the box score. Before a herniated disc in his back ended his season prematurely, he brought a scoring jolt to a Hornets team desperate for consistency at guard. That spark helped energize a franchise in flux and quickly made him a fan favorite in Charlotte.
