Antonio Reeves Shines in G-League, Faces Uncertainty with Hornets

After a season with the New Orleans Pelicans, Antonio Reeves found a new home with the Charlotte Hornets via a two-way contract. While his teammate Drew Peterson opted for a different path, Reeves dedicated his time to the Hornets’ G-League affiliate throughout the 2025-26 season.

During his tenure with the Greensboro Swarm, Reeves played a pivotal role in securing the team’s inaugural G-League championship, showcasing his skills in 28 games. He averaged an impressive 16.5 points, along with 3.7 rebounds and 0.5 steals, contributing significantly to the team's success.

In contrast, his time in the NBA was more limited, as he participated in just 10 games with the Hornets. In those outings, the former 47th overall draft pick recorded averages of 2.7 points, 0.8 rebounds, 0.3 assists, and 0.1 steals, all in approximately 6.8 minutes per game. Despite the limited playing time, Reeves demonstrated efficiency, shooting 50% from the field and an impressive 53.8% from beyond the arc.

With the upcoming summer bringing the possibility of restricted free agency, Reeves is on the lookout for greater opportunities. His performance this season raises questions about his future with the Hornets as he aims to secure a more significant role next year.

Overall, his contributions have earned him a commendable grade of A for the season.
