Charlotte Hornets waive former lottery pick ahead of training camp

The Charlotte Hornets have made roster adjustments ahead of the upcoming training camp, waiving two point guards in Ryan Nembhard and Rob Dillingham. Nembhard was the first to be waived following recent trades with the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls. Dillingham, a former No. 8 overall pick and recent acquisition, had played two NBA seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Chicago Bulls, averaging 5.5 points, 2.1 assists, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.6 steals per game.

His move to Charlotte marked a temporary return to North Carolina, where he grew up and began his high school basketball career. With this move, the Hornets' roster now stands at 16 players, exceeding the 15-man limit.
