The Hornets signed Wong to a two-way deal Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Wong has been playing in the G League with the Salt Lake City Stars since being waived by the Jazz in early October. He's seventh in the G League, averaging 24.1 points per game along with 3.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 steals over 31.4 minutes. Wong's addition to the Hornets' roster gives Charlotte depth amid injuries to LaMelo Ball (calf), Tre Mann (back) Miles Bridges (knee).
Wong was waived by the Jazz on Tuesday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports. Wong was previously on an Exhibit 10 contract with the Jazz but was considered a long shot to make the team. He's expected to play for Salt Lake City in the G League this season.
Wong agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Jazz on Monday, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports. Wong was selected by the Pacers with the 55th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and spent most of last year in the G League. He averaged 14.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 27.0 minutes per game over 30 appearances in the G League and will attempt to carve out a role with the Jazz during camp this year. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land back in the G League this season.
