After their recent Summer League championship run in Las Vegas, the Charlotte Hornets could find themselves competing for another title in Nevada. The NBA recently announced the group play schedule for the NBA Cup 2025, and it looks like the Hornets have a prime opportunity to advance to the single-elimination knockout rounds.
They have been grouped with the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks, and Chicago Bulls. For varying reasons, they are capable of defeating each one of them.
If they manage to come out on top of the group or secure a wild-card berth and then win their quarterfinals matchup, they would head to Paradise, Nevada, as one of the four teams battling to become the third NBA Cup champion.
