Hornets players probably published recently according to Euroleague

It was only a few days ago when Lonnie Walker IV entered the NBA again after signing a contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. He went overseas after he had been released by the Boston Celtics before the start of the regular season. A few days earlier, the Charlotte Hornets did without one of their players. This player was Isaiah Wong, who reports that he quickly reappeared when he will join a team in the Euroleague. In addition, Wong is about to be part of the team that Walker IV left for the NBA.

Hornets players probably published recently according to Euroleague

Isaiah Wong went to Euroleague

On February 13, the Hornets did without the 6-foot 4-Wong from the team. He was in a two-way deal and this newly opened two ways with the team on December 2.

Wong is now a free agent and supposedly no longer stays on the open market much longer. According to BasketNews, the 24-year-old will probably soon come to Zalgiris Kaunas of Euroleague. The Lithuanian squad has to announce the signing shortly, since the Euroleague period for the signing of players quickly approaches (February 26).

Before the publication, Wong performed in 20 games for the Hornets this season. He played 13.3 minutes per competition and scored an average of 6.0 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists. The player in the second year shot 39.0% of the field, 39.4% of beyond the arch and 73.5% from the free -wire line. In his second last game before the waiver, Wong reduced 17 points against 17 points against the Detroit Pistons on February 9.

In the NBA design of 2023, Wong was selected late in the second round (55th total) by the Indiana Pacers. Indiana signed him for a two-way deal, but he only saw action in a game for the team. Instead, he spent almost the entire 2023-24 season for the Pacers G League, the Indiana Mad Ants.

Wong played a collegial for the Miami Hurricanes for four years. Last year he was appointed third team All-American and also appointed ACC player of the year. This season 2022-23, Wong and the Hurricanes reached the first fourth of the school.

Zalgiris is on the Lithuanian basketball league

If Wong actually joins Zalgiris Kaunas, he will try to bring her over 0.500 again. The team is currently 12-14 in the Euroleague game. However, they are with a 16: 2 record on the Lithuanian basketball league.

You recently lost Walker IV to the NBA and look as if you were replacing it with a former NBA player in Wong. The team already sets up a few former NBA players in Ignas Brazdeikis and Alen Smailagic.

In the meantime, Wong's former team fought a lot in the Hornets. You have lost your last two trips through combined 95 points. On Monday, Charlotte lost 42 points against the Sacramento Kings. That was a defeat of 53 points against the Portland Trail Blazer on Saturday.
