Ryan Nembhard Likely To Be Waived By Hornets
Hoops Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Charlotte Hornets are expected to waive point guard Ryan Nembhard after acquiring him from the Atlanta Hawks in a trade involving Dorian Finney-Smith and Buddy Hield.
- The Hornets currently have 18 players on standard contracts but must reduce their roster to 15 by the start of the season, with Nembhard's $2.15 million expiring contract being a manageable salary cap consideration.
- Nembhard, who went undrafted last year and played 60 games for the Dallas Mavericks last season, averaged 6.6 points, 5.3 assists, and 2.2 rebounds per game, showing solid efficiency.
- After being traded twice this offseason, Nembhard is expected to attract interest from other teams for a two-way contract, with the Denver Nuggets reportedly among the potential suitors.
- If waived, Nembhard would be eligible to sign with any team except Atlanta, as per NBA trade rules.
