On Friday, August 4, the Charlotte Hornets signed Frank Ntilikina to a one-year, partially-guaranteed deal. After losing Dennis Smith Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets in the early stages of free agency, the Hornets’ front office likely sees Ntilikina as a potential replacement who can also provide competition for Nick Smith Jr, who Charlotte recently drafted with the 27th pick.
Free agent guard Frank Ntilikina has agreed on a one-year deal with the Charlotte Hornets, Sam Rose of CAA Sports and Olivier Mazet of Maz Sports tell ESPN.
