10:20 am: In addition to signing Badji, the Hornets have also re-added DJ Rodman to their camp roster, the team confirmed today in a press release. 8:28 am: The Hornets are adding free agent center Ibou Badji to their preseason roster, according to Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer (Twitter link). While Boone doesn’t specify what type of contract Badji is signing with the Hornets, it will almost certainly be non-guaranteed, with Exhibit 9 language. He headed overseas in the spring after appearing in 50 games for the Wisconsin Herd during the 2024/25 G League season. The Hornets have two openings on their roster, so no corresponding move is necessary to make room for the signing.
