Coby White
February 2026

White says he expected to be moved after Chicago traded other veterans and shifted direction. He is now with Charlotte but has not debuted yet due to a calf injury, and there is no timetable for his return. He describes the deal as a homecoming to North Carolina and says the Hornets have welcomed him into a rising, young group. He expects to fit behind LaMelo Ball initially, while providing depth and flexibility given the team’s backcourt demands.
