The Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a trade that will send multi-time All-Star center Dwight Howard to the Hornets, multiple sources confirmed Tuesday night.
The two teams were setting up a conference call with the NBA to make the deal official. The Hawks will get center Miles Plumlee and shooting guard Marco Belinelli. In addition, the Hornets and Hawks will switch second-round picks in Thursday’s draft, meaning the Hornets will select 31st overall and the Hawks will select 41st.
The deal was first reported by ESPN.
Howard, 31, will enter his 14th NBA season in October.
