The Charlotte Hornets continued their preseason roster shuffling. Charlotte waived forward Brandon Slater and signed guard Marcus Garrett. Slater was on a non-guaranteed camp contract. Garrett was signed to an Exhibit 10 deal. Both players will likely join Charlotte’s G League team in Greensboro to begin next season.
Garrett appeared in four games for the Hornets while on a 10 Day contract in March of last season. He spent the majority of the season with the Greensboro Swarm of the G League.
In 42 games with the Swarm, the 6-foot-5 combo guard averaged 10.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Garrett also spent part of a season in the NBA with the Miami Heat on a two-way contract.
