After his free agent rights were renounced earlier this offseason, Keyontae Johnson has found a new home. The 24-year-old has signed a contract with the Charlotte Hornets, per his agency Priority Sports.
This marks the end of a forgettable one-year stint for Johnson with the Thunder. He was the No. 50 selection of the 2023 NBA draft and was added on a two-way deal.
Johnson had a redshirt season last year and only totaled nine appearances in his rookie season. He averaged 1.2 points and 1.1 rebounds.
The 24-year-old spent most of his rookie campaign with the G League's OKC Blue, where he was a starter on their quest to a championship.
