With the recent injury to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist the Charlotte Hornets felt the need to add some depth to their wing positions and they did so by signing veteran Damien Wilkins. The Hornets have not made the signing official just yet but that is because the two sides have not gotten together to sign the deal but it should become final soon.
Michael Kidd-Gilchirst dislocated his shoulder during the Hornets first preseason game and he will be forced to miss about six months with surgery on his injured right shoulder.
Damian Wilkins is a 35-year-old veteran with nine years of NBA experience.
