Hornets Deal Altered: Coby White Injury Changes Trade Terms

The Charlotte Hornets' significant trade deadline was impacted by an injury to Coby White, leading to a modification of one of their deals.

Originally set to send three second-round picks to the Chicago Bulls, the Hornets will now only send two. This change is a direct result of White sustaining a calf strain that will keep him out for an unspecified period. The amended agreement involves the Hornets sending 2031 second-rounders, previously owned by the Knicks and Nuggets, to Chicago.

White is currently in the final year of his contract, making $12.9 million, and is slated for free agency this offseason. He is expected to provide a boost to the Hornets' bench, joining a team that has achieved a league-leading eight consecutive victories.
