One day after announcing the free agent signing of LiAngelo Ball, the Charlotte Hornets announced they were waiving the forward.
The move leaves the Hornets with an active roster of 18 players though it’s considered a move that will allow LiAngelo Ball, the older brother of Charlotte starting point guard LaMelo Ball, to be signed by Charlotte’s G-League franchise the Greensboro Swarm.
Also on Friday, the Hornets announced starting forward Gordon Hayward had cleared NBA health and safety protocols and was cleared to return to practice and Kelly Oubre (sprained right ankle) also returned to practice.
