Charlotte Hornets President of Basketball Operations Jeff Peterson announced today the team has waived forward Davis Bertans, guard Bryce McGowens and forward Aleksej Pokusevski.
The Hornets acquired Bertans last season in a midyear trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder along with Tre Mann, Vasa Micic and two second-round picks in exchange for Gordon Hayward. He averaged 8.8 points, 2.4 3-pointers and 1.8 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per game across 28 outings (one start) with Charlotte. For his eight-year career, Bertans holds averages of 7.7 points and 2.4 rebounds in 475 contests (41 starts).
McGowens appeared in 105 contests (21 starts) across two seasons with the Hornets, recording 5.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.9 minutes per game. The Hornets acquired McGowens, who was originally selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round (40th overall) of the 2022 NBA Draft, via a draft night trade in exchange for Josh Minott and a future second-round draft pick. He averaged 5.1 points and 1.7 rebounds in 59 outings (14 starts) last season.
Pokusevski has registered 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 168 games (65 starts) over four NBA seasons. He tallied 7.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 18 appearances with Charlotte after signing with the team as a free agent on Feb. 28.
