Who was mostly responsible for tonight's win? To a man, everyone pointed to LaMelo. But not because of the triple dub.

It was his words.

Inside how LaMelo even surprised Miles Bridges Sunday night and is becoming a leader for the #Hornets: #nbasky

Hornets’ star guard LaMelo Ball posted his 11th career triple-double and his first since Nov. 5, 2023.

Spoke with Tre Mann after shootaround. Told me he's fully healthy and sitting out tail end of preseason was only precautionary so he'd be good to go tonight in the opener.

He's ready.

How Kon Knueppel’s path through Duke helped pave his way to Charlotte Hornets

Rod Boone @rodboone.bsky.social · 7d

Spoke with Jon Scheyer, Kon Knueppel, Charles Lee and Brandon Miller to get a gauge on Knueppel's addition to the #Hornets young core.

How his time at Duke, which happened thanks in part to Scheyer's dad, paved the way to land in Charlotte: #nbasky

Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel is set to make his debut in Charlotte’s regular-season opener against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night at Spectrum Center.

Health of LaMelo Ball’s ankles and Brandon Miller’s wrist were among the key areas to watch heading into training camp.

Hornets waive veteran guard. What it means for Charlotte’s opening night roster

Rod Boone @rodboone.bsky.social · 12d

Noticed Spencer Dinwiddie giving pointers to LaMelo Ball during last night's game in Greensboro, serving as that veteran voice.

What his departure means for Charlotte’s opening night roster: #nbasky

www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/charlotte-hornets/article312529593.html

He was buried on the Hornets’ loaded depth chart at guard, but could be seen lending his voice to the younger players.

#Hornets are waiving Spencer Dinwiddie, league sources confirm. Dinwiddie hadn't played much during the preseason.
