Veteran wing Kent Bazemore has signed a G League contract and has been acquired off waivers by the Hornets‘ G League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, according to the NBAGL’s official transaction log (hat tip to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype).
A 10-year veteran, Bazemore appeared in 657 regular season games for the Warriors, Lakers, Hawks, Trail Blazers, and Kings from 2012-22. Over the course of his career, he has averaged 8.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 20.6 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .413/.356/.724.
Bazemore, 34, was in training camp with Sacramento in he fall of 2022, but was waived before the regular season began and hasn’t been on an NBA roster since then — he also hasn’t been playing in any non-NBA leagues. The Old Dominion alum reportedly worked out for Golden State during the 2023 offseason.
In his prime, Bazemore’s three-and-D skill set earned him a four-year, $70MM contract as a free agent in 2016. At this point of his career, however, he’ll have to impress in the G League to earn serious consideration for an NBA call-up.
Might be the single most inconsequential headline of all time

Wow Bazemore is a blast from the past. Still young too
