2024–25 Charlotte Hornets season

The 2024–25 Charlotte Hornets season will be the 35th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This also became the second season where Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall would take on majority ownership of the Hornets franchise after buying majority shares from Michael Jordan during the month of August 2023. On April 3, 2024, the Hornets announced that Steve Clifford would step down as head coach at the end of the 2023–24 season and move into a front-office advisory role.^[1] On May 9, 2024, the Hornets hired Charles Lee as their new head coach.^[2]

Draft

The Hornets will have one first-round pick and one second-round pick entering this draft (which will last for two straight days instead of one whole day like it had been since the NBA draft was shortened down to just two rounds back in 1989).^[3][4]
