Guess it wasn’t a just summer fling between LiAngelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets after all.
The Hornets are signing Ball to an Exhibit 10 contract on Thursday and will then waive him, a source with direct knowledge of the deal told The Observer. The move is being done so the Hornets can retain Ball’s G League rights, clearing the way for him to potentially play for the Greensboro Swarm.
Prior to Ball’s signing, the Hornets waived Jalen Crutcher and Cameron McGriff. They were signed to Exhibit 10 deals last Friday, filling out the back end of the roster.
