Wong appeared in 20 games with the Hornets this season, averaging 6.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 13.3 minutes per game. Wong, who also appeared in six G League games this season, signed a two-way contract with the Hornets on Dec. 2. At that time, he agreed to a two-year deal that covered the 2025/26 season as well as the rest of ’24/25.
Charlotte has been tinkering with its roster in recent days. It promoted Moussa Diabate from a two-way deal to a standard contract over the weekend. The Hornets then signed Damion Baugh to a two-way contract on Wednesday.
Due to numerous injuries to rotation players, Wong had appeared in 10 games since Jan. 22. He played 16 minutes on Wednesday against Orlando and scored seven points.
Wong was drafted in the second round in 2023 by Indiana out of Miami (Fla.). He was playing for Utah’s G League team, the Salt Lake City Stars, when the Hornets offered him a contract. With the All-Star break coming up, there’s no immediate need for the Hornets to fill the two-way spot.
NBA teams continue to confuse me. He was playing well
Wong had a 50 TS% through 20 games. That is not playing well.
Damion Baugh had 16 pts in his debut and plays the same position.
Two-Ways are meant to be emergency position depth. Hornets have injuries to Centers so they’re probably replacing him with a Center.
Seems like the Wong decision… I’ll show myself out
What’s Wong with the Hornets?
