More on this storyline
Michael Scotto: Just In: The Charlotte Hornets have waived Josh Okogie, league sources told @hoopshype . Okogie’s $7.75 million salary was set to guarantee today if he remained on the roster. Okogie averaged 8.9 points and 1.8 steals in 18.3 minutes per game in 15 games for Charlotte last season. -via x.com / July 15, 2025
According to NBA executives who spoke with HoopsHype, Nick Smith Jr. is a player they believe could be attainable on the trade market from Charlotte’s backcourt. Similar to Jock Landale who was recently waived by the Houston Rockets, the working assumption is Josh Okogie had his guarantee date pushed back to July 15th because the Hornets will look to include his salary in a potential trade and could waive him if nothing materializes. In addition, DaQuan Jeffries also has a non-guaranteed contract for the upcoming season, making him a candidate to be waived. -via HoopsHype / July 4, 2025
