The Hornets have waived big man Mangok Mathiang, per an official release from the team and announcement from President of Basketball Operations & General Manager Mitch Kupchak.
Mathiang, 25, signed a two-way contract with the Hornets a little over one year ago today. He played in four games during the 2017/18 season, averaging 2.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in 5.0 minutes per contest.
The 6’10” center also appeared in 43 games (36 starts) for Charlotte’s G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, where he averaged 10.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 assists in 25.3 minutes per game.
After waiving Mathiang, the Hornets now have an open two-way spot on their roster, with rookie guard J.P. Macura holding down the other two-way contract for Charlotte.
Hope the kids gets another gig, so good to see a lot of Aussies in the League now
Too many centers in Charlotte, with Willy starting & Kaminsky, Zeller & Biyombo from the bench… they didn’t need another one.
It’s a pity/ a bout Willy
