The Charlotte Hornets are extending a qualifying offer to point guard Devonte Graham, which would make him a restricted free agent, the team announced Sunday. Meanwhile, the Hornets decided not tender Malik Monk, which means his time with the Hornets is over
As a restricted free agent, the Hornets can retain Graham by matching any offers from other teams.
The Hornets drafted Graham, 26, in the second round of the 2018 NBA draft. He averaged 14.8 points and 5.4 assists last season.
The Hornets took Monk with the 11th pick in the 2017 draft.
