In the 2024-25 season, Hornets’s record of 19-63 was the third worst in the NBA. Moreover, that was the second worst record in the Eastern Conference.
On the way to the coming season 2025-26, Charlotte hopes for new success. NBA training camps will officially start in about a week. When the Hornets meet, they will be in a training camp without two experienced players. Grant Williams and Josh Green both recover from injuries. Head coach Charles Lee said there is no timeline for one of the players to return. Their first game of the season is Wednesday, October 22 versus the Brooklyn Nets.

When the Hornets meet at the end of September for training camp, they are without two experienced players due to an injury. That is Grant Williams who recovers from an ACL and Meniscus -Teacher in November 2024. Josh Green is still rehabilitating from the shoulder surgery he had in June 2025. Williams starts his third season with the Hornets. He was traded to Charlotte on the Deadline of 2023-24 of the Dallas Mavericks. Grant Williams played in 45 games and made 17 starts for the Hornets.
Last season Grant Williams appeared in 16 games and made seven starts for Charlotte. He suffered an ACL and meniscus tear early in the year. Head coach Charles Lee noted that Williams is further in his recovery process than Josh Green is. That makes sense, because it is 10 months since the injury of Sicne Williams and only three had surgery on his shoulder since Green.

Prior to the 2024-25 season, the Hornets were involved in a trade of six teams. In that deal, the Josh Green team took over from the Mavericks. The 24-year-old played in 68 games and made 67 starts for Charlotte. He on average 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game. This offseaosn, the hornets, great man Mark Williams exchanged to the Suns.
The Hornets will miss the production of Grant Williams if he is not available for their first game. The 26-year-old is one of the only real front players in the team. Charlotte has many players who can excel in the wing, but may not fit the role of an attacker. After playing only 27 games last season, Brandon Miller is expected to become full health for the Hornents. That is another player who can be part of their front courtrotation. As a team, can Charlotte take a step forward and fight for a play -off place in the Eastern Conference?
