Charlotte Hornets head coach Charles Lee is among those who are excited about Tre Mann's comeback from his injury. Based on his recent statement about the young guard, he could be planning to reinstate Mann to his role from last season as a heavy-minutes piece off the bench. That could also mean that Collin Sexton indeed has the pole position in the battle for one of the starting spots.
Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer recently interviewed Lee, where he praised Mann for helping the Hornets "get off to a good start" on both ends of the court in the 2024-25 campaign, his infectious work ethic, and being a great teammate overall.
