Former Thunders Vasilije Micic, Tre Mann and Davis Bertans — sent to Charlotte in the Gordon Hayward trade — played key roles in their Hornets debuts, a 115-106 win against the Grizzlies on Saturday.
Micic had a career-high 18 points and nine assists in 26 minutes off the bench.
“He knows where everybody is on the floor,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said of the former EuroLeague MVP. “Obviously he is a terrific passer and a good pick-and-roll player. And he’s got size. He’s big.”
Mann, who had only played in 13 games for the Thunder, started and played 27 minutes.
