Hornets' Isaiah Wong: Headed to Charlotte
Rotowire
Wong agreed to a two-way deal with the Hornets on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Wong has been playing in the G League with the Salt Lake City Stars since being waived by the Jazz in early October. He's gotten off to a strong start to the G League campaign, averaging 24.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 steals over 31.4 minutes. Charlotte's addition of Wong gives the team additional depth at point guard with LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back) both out for multiple weeks, though Vasilije Micic and KJ Simpson are presumably in line ahead of Wong for minutes in head coach Charles Lee's rotation.

Pacers' Isaiah Wong: Drafted 55th by Indiana
Rotowire
Wong was drafted 55th overall by the Pacers in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Wong played four seasons at Miami, putting up averages of 16.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 triples in 2022-23. A 6-foot-4 guard, Wong may struggle to find playing time despite the rebuild in Indiana, as Tyrese Haliburton is the face of the franchise and T.J. McConnell is one of the most reliable backups in the NBA.
