Cut by Charlotte
The Hornets waived Bolden on Wednesday. Bolden was set to enter the second season of the two-year, two-way deal he signed in March, but the writing had been on the wall for Charlotte to cut him after the Warriors had listed the journeyman center on their 2024 Summer League roster last week. The 26-year-old will look to impress in the California Classic and Las Vegas Summer Leagues with the hope of earning a contract with the Warriors or another club.
With Golden State for Summer League
Bolden is listed on the Warriors Summer League roster. Bolden inked a two-year, two-way contract with the Hornets in March, but has been released and will spend Summer League with the Warriors. Bolden started in each of the Hornets' last two regular season games and averaged 10.0 points. 6.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocks over 30 minutes.
Swats four shots vs. Cleveland
Bolden produced 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 victory over the Cavaliers. Bolden got the start for the Hornets' regular-season finale, and he took advantage of the opportunity by recording career highs in points and blocks. He was a DNP for most of the season but played in seven of Charlotte's last eight games. Bolden will be with the Hornets for the 2024-25 season after signing a two-year, two-way contract with the team in March 2024.
Plays 30 minutes in first start
Bolden logged six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 131-98 loss to the Celtics. Bolden got the start Friday due to the absences of Grant Williams (ankle) and Nick Richards (foot). Bolden saw his heaviest usage of the season Friday, though he only managed to record six points on five field-goal attempts. He could see a similar amount of playing time in the Hornets' regular-season finale Sunday against the Cavaliers.
Starting at center
Bolden is starting Friday's game against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports. Bolden will draw his first start of the 2023-24 regular season and should be in line for a sizeable workload due to the absences of Grant Williams (ankle) and Nick Richards (foot).
Sticks in rotation Friday
Bolden amassed four points (2-2 FG) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Friday's 124-115 win over the Magic. Bolden remained in the rotation Friday, taking to the floor for the third straight game. Prior to that, he had played on only four occasions all season. While it is clear the Hornets are going to hand minutes to just about anyone down the stretch, Bolden is not someone fantasy managers need to be considering outside of deep leagues.
Back to Charlotte on two-way deal
Bolden signed a two-way contract with the Hornets on Saturday. Bolden signed a 10-day deal with the Hornets on Feb. 20 and made one appearance, totaling one rebound in five minutes, before being waived to make room for Aleksej Pokusevski. However, Bolden will return to Charlotte via a two-way contract and report immediately to the G League's Greensboro Swarm, where he'll presumably spend most of his time. In a corresponding move, the Hornets waived Nathan Mensah.
Let go by Charlotte
The Hornets released Bolden on Wednesday. Bolden signed a 10-day contract with the Hornets on Feb. 20, but he'll be let go before the deal expires after Charlotte signed Aleksej Pokusevski to fill the 15th and final spot on the roster. Bolden was held scoreless with one rebound in five minutes during his lone appearance with the Hornets.
