Charlotte Hornets Re-sign Guard Tre Mann to Three-Year $24M Deal

The Charlotte Hornets have re-signed guard Tre Mann to a three-year, $24 million contract after initially declining to tender him a qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted free agent. Mann, 24, was traded to the Hornets in February 2024 and showed promise before a back disc herniation limited him to 13 games in the 2024-25 season, where he averaged 14.1 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.9 rebounds per game with strong shooting from beyond the arc. Despite the injury, Mann has fully recovered and participated in the Hornets' offseason activities, positioning him to provide valuable scoring and ball-handling off the bench in the upcoming season. The team's front office, led by President of Basketball Operations Jeff Peterson, has built a solid bench unit, including acquiring Collin Sexton, with Mann expected to be a key contributor. The multi-year deal signals the Hornets' confidence in Mann's potential impact moving forward. His return adds depth to a team looking to strengthen its roster for 2025-26.
