Exciting news for Charlotte Hornets fans as Tre Mann has agreed to return to the team on a lucrative three-year, $24 million deal. After missing most of last season due to a back injury, Mann is ready to make a strong comeback and contribute his scoring prowess to the Hornets lineup. The team chose not to extend him a qualifying offer, allowing Mann to explore free agency before ultimately deciding to stay in Charlotte.
Selected with the No. 18 pick in the 2021 draft, Mann was initially picked up by the Oklahoma City Thunder before being traded to the Hornets in exchange for Gordon Hayward. Despite his injury setback, Mann showed flashes of his talent in the limited games he played last season, averaging an impressive 14.1 points in just 24.5 minutes on the court. With the recent acquisition of guard Collin Sexton, the Hornets are shaping up to have a dynamic backcourt that can make some noise in the upcoming NBA season.
