In February 2025, the Pistons waived Moore. He signed a two-way contract with the Charlotte Hornets a few weeks later. After closing out the 2024-2025 NBA season with the Hornets, Moore started the 2025-2026 run in the NBA G League with the Maine Celtics.
In November 2025, Moore signed a two-way contract with the Pistons. Throughout the 2025-2026 NBA season, Moore appeared in six games. He averaged 1.7 points and 1.0 rebounds per game, while shooting 57.1% from the field.
As Moore remains unsigned in the NBA, he appears to be seriously kicking around the idea of taking his talent overseas.
