Hornets sign former Lakers center to 1-year deal

The Charlotte Hornets are adding to their frontcourt depth with just a few weeks to go until the 2024-25 season gets underway. On Sunday, it was reported on X (formerly Twitter) by NBA insider Shams Charnia of Stadium and The Athletic that the Hornets would be signing center Harry Giles to a one-year contract.

The move comes just as teams are preparing to begin training camp, which will begin around the league throughout the next couple of weeks.

Giles was one of the most highly touted prospects in the entire country as a high schooler in the mid-2010s, but unfortunately, injuries severely hampered his lone season as a member of the Duke Blue Devils, and continued after he was drafted into the NBA by the Sacramento Kings in 2017.
