The NBA is set to resume play with 22 teams in a couple weeks. The Charlotte Hornets are not one of those teams. As a fan of the team, that’s disappointing. The Hornets were playing good basketball when the season was halted, and the team’s young players looked to be hitting their stride. There are talks of a second bubble existing for the eight teams not included in the season restart, but that wouldn’t happen until some time in September. In the meantime, Hornets fans needs someone to root for in the bubble that actually matters.
There are a few teams featuring former Hornets in the bubble.
