The Charlotte Hornets came to terms with point guard Tre Mann on a three-year, $24 million contract Tuesday, according to an ESPN report.
The Hornets allowed Mann to become an unrestricted free agent by declining to tender him a qualifying offer in the $7 million range, but moved quickly on the first day of free agency to lock him up.
Mann, 24, spent last year in Charlotte and appeared in just 13 games due to a significant back injury that cost him the final five months of the season. He was off to a strong start, averaging 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 24.5 minutes per game before the injury.
The Hornets acquired Mann from the Oklahoma City Thunder prior to the 2024 trade deadline. With the Thunder, who drafted him No. 18 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft, Mann averaged 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 140 games (31 starts).
Mann rejoins a backcourt that recently added Collin Sexton via trade with the Utah Jazz.
