Xavier Sneed, one of five former Kansas State basketball players represented this month on NBA Summer League rosters, became the first ex-Wildcat to see action on Wednesday when he played 17 minutes for the Charlotte Hornets in Sacramento, California.
Sneed, who played for the Wildcats from 2016-20, scored four points and grabbed two rebounds with one assist in the Hornets' 98-83 loss to the Golden State Warriors. He did not play in the team's first game on Monday against San Antonio.
Forward Keyontae Johnson, a second-round pick by Oklahoma City in last month's NBA Draft, missed the Thunder's two games in Salt Lake City on Monday and Wednesday with a right hamstring strain.
