Hornets summer league roster has 9 rookies, with one key absence for now

The Charlotte Hornets released their 2021 NBA summer league roster Monday and it includes LiAngelo Ball, the brother of Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball.

The Observer previously reported that the Hornets were expected to sign the elder Ball brother, who went undrafted in 2018. Hornets General Manager Mitch Kupchak said last month that the players, including LiAngelo Ball, would go through a mini tryout process to determine which players were going to camp.

Rookie power forward JT Thor, who the Hornets drafted 37th overall, is not listed on the roster. He will not be available until after the moratorium period ends, when the trade with the Detroit Pistons becomes official.
