Charlotte Hornets Sign Damion Baugh to Two-Way Contract

The Charlotte Hornets have signed point guard Damion Baugh to a two-way contract as they look to bolster their struggling roster. Baugh, who has been playing with the Westchester Knicks in the G League, has averaged 12.9 points, 7.9 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game this season. His signing comes amid injury concerns for the Hornets, particularly with LaMelo Ball missing several games recently. Despite Baugh's impressive stats, it is anticipated that he will have a limited role in the NBA due to the nature of his contract. The Hornets currently sit at 13-38 for the season, highlighting their need for depth and talent in the backcourt. This move follows a series of trades aimed at improving the team's performance, although significant challenges remain for a postseason push.
