CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Thunder ran into a familiar face in the halls of the Spectrum Center on Thursday.
Former Thunder head athletic trainer Joe Sharpe is now the Director of Health Care and Sports Performance with the Hornets. Sharpe was the head athletic trainer for the Charlotte Bobcats for four years before spending 10 seasons with the Thunder as the head strength and conditioning coach/assistant athletic trainer.
