Former South Carolina forward Justin Minaya didn’t hear his name called in the 2022 NBA Draft on Thursday, but he’ll reportedly still get the opportunity to make a pro roster.
According to a tweet from Newsday Sports’ Steve Popper, Minaya has agreed to a summer league deal with the Charlotte Hornets. Basketball insider Adam Zagoria also reported the move, citing league sources.
Minaya played at South Carolina for four seasons before transferring to Providence as a graduate student for his final year of eligibility for the 2021-22 season.
At Providence, he started in 25 of the 32 games he played in.
