The Charlotte Hornets have a new radio play-by-play voice: John Focke, who was with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx.
Focke (pronounced FOH-kee) did play-by-play with the WNBA Lynx, and has done producing and studio hosting for the Timberwolves since 2007
Focke replaces Chris Kroeger, who was hired this season, then was unexpectedly dropped from the broadcast in late March. The Hornets declined to discuss the reason for Kroeger’s departure. Longtime Hornets broadcaster Steve Martin, who retired after the 2017-18 season, filled in on radio the rest of the season.
