Seth Curry’s time with his hometown team is over — for now, at least.
The Charlotte Hornets waived Curry on Friday in advance of his contract becoming fully guaranteed. But the move doesn’t mean Curry, acquired with Grant Williams and a 2027 first-round pick from Dallas in exchange for PJ Washington at the NBA trade deadline in February, is out of the team’s future plans.
Curry was set to earn $4 million in 2024-24 in the final season of the two-year, $8 million he inked with the Mavericks last summer, and the Hornets are likely maneuvering so they can maximize as much salary cap space as possible leading into an offseason filled with questions surrounding whether they will re-sign unrestricted free agent Miles Bridges.
