Former Pitt standout Brad Wanamaker was traded from the Golden State Warriors to the Charlotte Hornets ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Tuesday. The move was first reported by Shams Charania of Stadium and later confirmed by the Warriors.
In exchange for Wanamaker, the Warriors got cash from the Hornets. And in Charlotte, Wanamaker will provide the Hornets with depth at the point guard position behind Devonte Graham. Graham is the team’s current starter, as LaMelo Ball, a rookie point guard in the midst of a breakout year in Charlotte, suffered a fractured wrist that may end his season.
