Charlotte Hornets: NBA and NBPA approve Free Agency date
As many teams prepare for the offseason, the Charlotte Hornets now know when free agency will start.
Since COVID-19 impacted the season for the Charlotte Hornets and many teams this year, many have been wondering about offseason activities. Since July, teams have received many different dates for offseason activities.
Originally, the league was set on October 15th for the NBA Draft, which would allow free agency to start a few days after. However, the draft was moved due to the length of the NBA Playoffs, and the league decided to go with the date of November 18th.
