Hornets' Tre Mann: Season-high 16 points off bench
Rotowire
Mann finished with 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
Mann gave the Hornets a lift off the bench, recording a season-high 16 points. Charlotte has yet to settle on a consistent starting shooting guard alongside LaMelo Ball, perhaps keeping Mann in the conversation as a candidate for that spot. That said, Mann may need find a groove before he's seriously considered for the role -- he's averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 0.8 steals per contest while shooting just 31.6 percent from the field over his first six games.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Iffy for Tuesday
Rotowire
Mann is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat due to a jaw contusion.
Mann presumably sustained the jaw contusion in Sunday's win over the Wizards, during which he exited to the locker room following a collision with an opposing player. However, he managed to return, posting zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 12 minutes. If the 24-year-old guard joins Brandon Miller (shoulder) on the sideline, Sion James, Kon Knueppel and Collin Sexton are candidates for increased playing time, while Pat Connaughton could enter the rotation.

Rotowire
Mann finished Wednesday's 136-117 win over Brooklyn with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 21 minutes.
Mann was one of eight Hornets to score in double figures during their blowout win over the Nets, and he also finished third on the team in assists behind LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller. Charlotte head coach Charles Lee mentioned during training camp that Mann and Collin Sexton will push Kon Knueppel for playing time all season, but the rookie led the trio with 25 minutes and was an Opening Night starter.

Hornets' Tre Mann: Posts strong preseason performance
Rotowire
Mann registered 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Thursday's 122-116 loss to the Thunder.
Mann got hot from beyond the arc and led his team in scoring while posting an efficient shooting line. He's off to a strong start to the preseason after racking up seven points, five rebounds and five assists in Sunday's opener, also against Oklahoma City.
Head coach Charles Lee implied Sunday that Mann could be an option to start this season, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Rookie first-rounder Kon Knueppel got the first crack at a start in Sunday's preseason opener against the Thunder, and Collin Sexton remains in play for the first unit as well. This situation could remain unresolved even once the season begins, as it could end up being a matchup-based approach. Mann appears more likely to serve as Charlotte's top backup point guard behind LaMelo Ball more often than not.
Mann agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal with the Hornets on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Hornets didn't tender a qualifying offer to Mann, making him an unrestricted free agent. However, the 24-year-old guard is set to return to Charlotte on a new deal and will likely provide a spark off the team's bench in 2025-26. He appeared in only 13 regular-season games in 2024-25 due to a back disc herniation, averaging 14.1 points, 3.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers across 24.5 minutes per game during that span.
