The move
Tre Carroll is off the Charlotte Hornets roster, a move the team's official roster confirmed on Tuesday, Sept. 22. Carroll, 23, was a rookie on the roster; his position was not announced. He leaves the Hornets with no destination listed, and where he goes next is not announced. No injury report or other public report preceded this transaction, and none is logged ahead of it.
The money
Carroll's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing or roster move by a day, so his cap hit and any years are not available. The Hornets carry a payroll of $177.1 million across 18 contracts for 2026-27, which puts them over the salary cap but under the luxury tax. The cap is set at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million. Charlotte sits well clear of both aprons.
The fit
Carroll has no NBA line from last season. His position is not announced, so it is not clear where he would have fit into Charlotte's rotation. Last season the Hornets leaned on Kon Knueppel (31.5 minutes, 18.5 points), Miles Bridges (31.0 minutes, 17.1 points), Brandon Miller (30.3 minutes, 20.2 points), LaMelo Ball (28.0 minutes, 20.1 points), Moussa Diabaté (26.0 minutes, 7.9 points), Sion James (22.5 minutes, 5.4 points), Collin Sexton (22.3 minutes, 14.2 points) and Ryan Kalkbrenner (21.4 minutes, 7.6 points). The Hornets now list 21 players on the roster, above the standard 15-man limit with three two-way spots.
