The next chapter of Charlotte Hornets basketball is just around the corner as the franchise enters year two under head coach Charles Lee.

It's been an eventful summer for the franchise, which selected Kon Knueppel, Liam McNeeley, Sion James, and Ryan Kalkbrenner in the 2025 NBA Draft, signed Spencer Dinwiddie, Tre Mann, Mason Plumlee, Antonio Reeves, Drew Peterson, and acquired Collin Sexton and Pat Connaughton in trades, while shipping out Mark Williams, and waiving Josh Okogie.

The new-look squad will look to take a step toward competitive basketball this season and try to snap the longest playoff drought in the NBA. Thursday afternoon, the NBA released the full 82-game schedule for all 30 teams. Here's a look at what the Hornets will run through this year.
