This marks the first occasion that George has hinted at a future away from his current team, suggesting that the Hornets are not in his plans. However, his ongoing knee injury presents a challenging scenario for any potential suitors, as the Sixers have previously navigated similar issues with their star player, Joel Embiid last season.

Hornets eager for upcoming season

As they gear up for the forthcoming NBA season, the Hornets have made several strategic roster additions during the offseason, aiming to build a promising future around their existing talent. The team saw a successful NBA Draft with the selection of Kon Knueppel, and another prospect, Liam McNeeley, has emerged as a standout performer during the Summer League.

McNeeley has demonstrated considerable skill and is under close observation by the Hornets, as they evaluate his potential impact in the coming season. The Hornets are committed to delivering a revitalized performance to their fans and making a significant rebound in the NBA.
