Latest news and updates about the Hornets
We had thought the dust had settled on the trade deadline when it was reported that the Charlotte Hornets had acquired Malaki Branham about 20 minutes before the deadline. But not so fast. Apparently Jeff Peterson snuck one more deal through that we didn’t find out about until an hour after the deadline had past.

The Celtics have traded Xavier Tillman to the Charlotte Hornets, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Thursday afternoon. Tillman, who was acquired from Memphis just months ahead of the 2024 championship, was not in the rotation but had become a vocal leader in the locker room and one of the team’s veteran players. He only appeared […]
We sort of wondered why the Charlotte Hornets traded for two point guards at the last minute, but now we know: they’re sending former Duke guard Tyus Jones to Dallas. This will give them first of all a very solid point guard for the moment and a really good backup when fellow former Blue Devil […]
We knew the Charlotte Hornets weren’t done, but this probably isn’t what most people had in mind. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Charlotte is flipping Tyus Jones to the Mavericks for guard Malaki Branham. According to Shams, the Mavericks have had interest in acquiring Jones. The Hornets were happy to oblige, but only after getting […] The post Hornets trading Tyus Jones to Mavericks for Malaki Branham first appeared on At The Hive .
Note: I’m writing this preview before the Houston Rockets take on the Boston Celtics. I’m also writing this well ahead of the NBA trade deadline, which is Thursday at 2pm CT.

Today is the NBA trade deadline. The Charlotte Hornets have already made a couple of moves, and I’d be surprised if they’re done. The rest of the league has gone coocoo and has sent players in every which way. It’s like playing 2K MyGM and watching the CPU controlled teams go nuts at random. You’ve […] The post Charlotte Hornets trade deadline extravaganza first appeared on At The Hive .
Former Duke point guard Tyus Jones has been traded from the Orlando Magic to the Charlotte Hornets, where he’ll join fellow former Blue Devil Kon Knueppel. He’ll most likely back up LaMelo Ball. Given Ball’s injury history, having a solid backup is a really good idea. Charlotte got some redundancy there, also trading for former […]
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets are acquiring Tyus Jones from the Orlando Magic for nothing but cash considerations. But wait, there’s more. Not only did the Magic give away Tyus Jones, they also gave the Hornets two second round picks for helping them duck the luxury tax. The Hornets will be getting […] The post Hornets acquiring Tyus Jones and picks for basically nothing first appeared on At The Hive .
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Charlotte Hornets are acquiring Coby White and Mike Conley Jr. in exchange for Collin Sexton and Ousmane Dieng.

With White, the Hornets get a […] The post Hornets acquiring Coby White and Mike Conley Jr. first appeared on At The Hive .
The NBA trade deadline is this Thursday at 3:00 Eastern time. We’ve already seen a few deals shake up the landscape of the league, and there are definitely more to come.

According to Chris Haynes, Charlotte Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel has accepted an invitation to participate in the 3-point shootout during NBA All Star Weekend. It’s only surprising in the sense that we rarely see Hornets players invited to these sorts of things.

The January 2026 Charlotte Hornets are going to go down in the annals of NBA history as one of the greatest teams of all time.

Is it just me, or does that bad loss start to taste a little sweeter when the trade deadline is this close? The Chicago Bulls have a golden opportunity tonight to add to my happiness—and their misery—by dropping another game, this time against a Central Division rival, the Milwaukee Bucks. With the Charlotte Hornets hot on the Bulls tail, suddenly playing some of their best basketball of the season, the reality of Chicago missing the play-in is very real. And somehow, that hope gets ...
Zion Williamson is back in form, which is great. His year at Duke remains iconic, but injuries have plagued his NBA career. When he’s healthy though, no one can stop him. We got a good glimpse of his game Monday night against the red-hot Charlotte Hornets. At 6-6 and 284, and with immense power and […]
It was by no means a pretty game, but the Charlotte Hornets locked in defensively to rally to beat the New Orleans Pelicans, 102-95.

The up-and-down Chicago Bulls are coming off their worst loss of the NBA season to the Miami Heat on Sunday, and with a 24-26 record, are now precariously close to being lapped by both the 24-27 Atlanta Hawks and the 22-28 Charlotte Hornets. There’s a chance Chicago falls out of the play-in tournament running entirely. If that does happen, the 2026 NBA Draft boasts a supposedly loaded arsenal of young talent. Thursday’s trade deadline should firmly establish how Chicago approaches the dra...

There’s a moment in every parent’s life when, from a place of experience, you advise your child not to do something, and they proceed to disregard you. It is, so far as I can tell, a universal experience, bypassing borders and languages, regions and classes, prejudices and ethnicities, and religions and political affiliations. In certain […]
Coming off an impressive win against the Houston Rockets, the Spurs traveled to Charlotte to face off against the Hornets. Due to inclement weather, tipoff was moved up to 11:00 A.M. (CST).

The Dallas Mavericks (19-29) head out on the road to face off against the Houston Rockets (29-17) in a Saturday night ABC showdown of division rivals.

With a snowpocalypse approaching Charlotte, North Carolina and much of the Atlantic seaboard, a game that was already an early tip-off due to the Spurs having another afternoon game tomorrow got pushed even further back to 11:00 AM CT to hopefully give them adequate time to play and get out of dodge. Unlike the snowy […]

They also got some help from […]
