CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Hornets are adding some depth to their backcourt.
In need a backup point guard, they intend to sign Isaiah Thomas to a 10-day contract, sources with direct knowledge of the situation told The Charlotte Observer. The move is expected to happen on Wednesday so the Hornets can maximize the length of the deal. They conclude a mini two-game road trip in Cleveland and barring something unforeseen he should be joining his new teammates then.
After dealing Ish Smith to Washington in the trade to acquire Montrezl Harrell, the Hornets have been thin at point guard. Terry Rozier has assumed the duties and bringing Thomas on board could potentially alleviate some of those tasks.
