Charlotte continues to play the waiting game for James Nnaji.
Center James Nnaji, the Charlotte Hornets' second round draft pick in 2023, will be playing on a new team this upcoming season., Nnaji will play on a loan from Barcelona at Girona Basquet. The 19-year-old underwent surgery to address lumbar spine issues earlier this offseason, which is partially why he will remain stashed overseas. The other reason being, he needs more playing time for his development. Across 46 games this past season Nnaji averaged just 2.5 points,1.
The Hornets are free to bring over Nnaji the moment they feel he is ready, but that doesn't appear to be in their plans for this season. Mark Williams returns from a back issue, Nick Richard is back, and the team also signed Taj Gibson last month for depth purposes.schuylercallihangmail.com Twitter:@Callihan_ Schuyler Callihan is the lead publisher of Mountaineers Now, All Panthers, and All Hornets on FanNation/Sports Illustrated.
