What to know about the Charlotte Hornets
Charlotte is coming off a season where they showed impressive growth and the franchise is quite obviously built around LaMelo Ball, who made his first All-Star team in his second season. With Ball running the show, the Hornets had the sixth-fastest pace (100.0) in the NBA and ranked fourth in scoring (115.3 points per game).
Ball averaged 20.1 points, 7.6 assists and 6.7 rebounds per game and made massive improvement as both a free-throw shooter (75.8% to 87.2%) and 3-point shooter (35.2% to 38.9%). However, Ball is expected to miss Wednesday’s contest against the Spurs due to a sprained ankle.
What to know about the San Antonio Spurs
For the first time since 1996-97 when the franchise put itself in the Tim Duncan sweepstakes, the Spurs have completely torn down the roster in an effort to win the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes. They traded Murray to the Hawks in exchange for Danilo Gallinari and three first-round picks and also made deals for Thaddeus Young and Derrick White that returned first-round picks in last year’s trade deadline.
Devin Vassell impressed with a larger role in his second NBA season, averaging 12.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. He’ll be expected to take on a significant role in the offense with Murray gone and former Duke star Tre Jones will assume point guard responsibilities.
