The Hornets are signing Ajayi to a two-year two-way contract Friday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

The rookie forward went undrafted out of Butler, but Charlotte seems impressed enough by his collegiate resume to offer him a two-way roster spot. Ajayi figures to participate in the Summer League in July, and then most of his development is likely to come with the G League's Greensboro Swarm in 2026-27.
