The Charlotte Hornets are sending second-season forward Jalen McDaniels to the G-League bubble in Florida to play for the Greensboro Swarm.
McDaniels started the season in the Hornets’ rotation, playing in the first seven games. However, he’s played in just two of the last 10, heading into Wednesday’s home game against the Indiana Pacers.
McDaniels was the only non-rookie on the Hornets roster on the initial roster for the Swarm, released Wednesday. As expected, rookies Vernon Carey, Nick Richards, Grant Riller and Nate Darling were all assigned to the Swarm. Also on the roster: Admiral Schofield, the top pick in the G-League draft, and Kobi Simmons, a former Hornets two-way player who was with the team for the two-week mini-camp in the fall.
