The Hornets will give Aleksej Pokusevski another chance

In the midst of a reconstruction, the Hornets have decided to draw on the Oklahoma City side. Because after having recovered Tre Mann, Vasilije Micic And Davis Bertans during the trade deadline, in exchange for Gordon Hayward, here's what ESPN announces that Charlotte will also sign Aleksej Pokusevskijust released by OKC.

This is because the Serbian has just celebrated his 22nd birthday, and he therefore deserves that a franchise tries to exploit his potential.

Quite promising during his first season with his atypical physique, the Serbian never recovered from his repeated injuries. There was a fracture of a tibia, then a broken arm, or even a dislocated shoulder…

Result: he only played 44 matches over the last two seasons, and even missed the World Cup.

This season, with the arrival of Chet Holmgren, he was no longer part of Mark Daigneault's rotation, having only returned in 10 games, averaging 1.2 points and 1.0 rebounds, in just 6 minutes.
