Charlotte Hornets, Summer League champions, face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday at 6:00 pm ET. Hosted at Spectrum Center, the game features emerging talents like Kon Knueppel and Naz Reid, with key players like Brandon Miller and Anthony Edwards sidelined.

The Hornets lost 123-107 to the Orlando Magic Thursday, dropping to 2-3 on the season. Charlotte never held a lead against Orlando (2-4).

Franz Wagner scored 21 points and the Orlando Magic snapped a four-game losing streak with a 123-107 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night

Regardless, the Hornets should still be brimming with confidence when they take on the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. Charles Lee's preseason directive centered around pace and 'everybody eating' has come to fruition through three games with the Hornets boasting the league's best early-season offense (pinch me, I must be dreaming).

The Hornets may have a clear trade deadline reason why they opted to let go of veteran Spencer Dinwiddie ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Despite an injury to Brandon Miller, the Hornets led the 76ers in the fourth quarter Saturday night before appearing to run out of steam.

In just two games in the NBA, Sion James has proven that he belongs. The rookie swingman didn't play a ton of minutes in the preseason, and in retrospect, that decision looks like Charles Lee was just playing his cards close to his chest, waiting to reveal his ace in the hole.
