The Hornets have waived center Marques Bolden, the team announced today (via Twitter). He had been occupying one of the team’s two-way slots.
An undrafted free agent in 2019 out of Duke, Bolden has bounced back and forth between the NBA and the G League over the past five years. In 2023/24, he began the season on a two-way contract with the Bucks. After being waived by Milwaukee, he signed a 10-day contract with the Hornets, then stayed with Charlotte on a two-year, two-way deal.
Bolden appeared in just 11 games at the NBA level last season, averaging 3.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per night. In 31 G League games for the Bucks’ and Hornets’ affiliates, the 26-year-old put up 12.6 PPG, 7.6 RPG, and 1.6 BPG in 24.6 MPG with a solid shooting line of .548/.429/.769.
Bolden was listed on the Summer League roster recently announced by the Warriors (Twitter link), so this move had been anticipated. The Hornets now have a pair of open two-way slots, with Leaky Black filling the third.
