Hornets trade Plumlee, McDaniels; hold on to Rozier, Hayward

Transactions at the NBA trade deadline are sending Mason Plumlee and Jalen McDaniels out of Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — With minutes to spare before the NBA trade deadline, the Charlotte Hornets made some moves as they plan for the future.

The Hornets traded away center Mason Plumlee to the Los Angeles Clippers about 20 minutes before the deadline on Thursday. In exchange, the Hornets will receive a 2028 2nd-round pick and point guard Reggie Jackson.

However, NBA sources say Jackson is set to have a contract buyout and will not play for the Hornets.
