The Charlotte Hornets are signing former North Carolina guard Marcus Paige and former Louisville center Mangok Mathiang to the NBA’s newly-created two-way contracts, an informed source told the Observer.
Those contracts – each of 30 NBA franchises can have two two-way deals – means Paige and Mathiang will play primarily for the G-League Greensboro Swarm next season.
Former Louisville center Mangok Mathiang played for the Charlotte Hornets’ summer league team in Orlando, Fla., last month. The Hornets will sign Mathiang to one of the NBA’s new two-way contracts, meaning he will play primarily for the Greensboro Swarm, the Hornets’ G-League affiliate.
