Charlotte Hornets 2025-26 Season Preview
Entering this season, the Hornets have quietly transformed their roster through a mix of strategic trades, veteran additions, and youth development. Notable moves include acquiring guard Collin Sexton from Utah, veteran forward‑center Mason Plumlee, and guard Spencer Dinwiddie, while also securing Pat Connaughton in exchange for Vasilije Micić. Their 2025 NBA Draft haul added promising talent: Duke alumni Kon Knueppel (No. 4 pick) and Sion James, plus Creighton’s center Ryan Kalkbrenner, following the earlier trade of Mark Williams to Phoenix for a future first-rounder and McNeeley’s draft rights. These moves signal Charlotte’s intent to bolster both leadership and depth alongside its young core.
Still, everything hinges on the health and growth of franchise pillars LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. If both remain fit and effective — with Miller potentially scoring 20+ points per game — the Hornets’ best-case scenario sees them reaching the Play-In Tournament with a record near .500. However, a grueling February schedule and the lingering injury concerns surrounding Ball could easily steer them toward a softer season closer to the 30‑win mark. The Hornets are at a crossroads: poised to surprise, but still vulnerable to inconsistency and key absences.

About Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets are a professional basketball team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, competing in the NBA as a member of the Eastern Conference’s Southeast Division. Founded in 1988, the franchise quickly built a passionate fan base thanks to its distinct teal-and-purple branding, energetic atmosphere at the Charlotte Coliseum, and early stars like Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning, and Muggsy Bogues. After relocating and becoming the New Orleans Hornets in 2002, the NBA granted Charlotte a new expansion team in 2004, originally called the Bobcats. In 2014, the franchise reclaimed the Hornets name and its original history.
Throughout their existence, the Hornets have seen periods of promise and rebuilding. In the early 2000s and again in the 2010s, the team made several playoff appearances, most notably behind the play of All-Stars like Kemba Walker, whose leadership helped define a generation of Hornets basketball. Despite some struggles in attracting and retaining elite talent, Charlotte has remained a competitive presence in the league, known for its loyal fan base and strong community engagement. The organization has focused heavily on drafting and developing young players, especially under the ownership of former NBA legend Michael Jordan, who sold majority ownership in 2023 but left a lasting influence on the team’s culture.
The Hornets continue to aim for long-term success by investing in young talent and building around key prospects. With a strong presence in one of the NBA’s most dedicated regional markets, the team has the foundation to grow both competitively and commercially. While they haven’t yet reached the heights of consistent playoff contention, their combination of historic identity, modern branding, and a core of rising players keeps Charlotte positioned as a franchise with potential and purpose in the evolving NBA landscape.
