Charlotte Hornets’ biggest mistake in 2025 NBA free agency? Ignoring their most urgent positional need, despite strong additions.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns both "continue to weigh the prospect of reuniting with veteran point guard Chris Paul," according to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer for the Stein Line newsletter.

Philadelphia 76ers rookie VJ Edgecombe will miss Saturday's summer league contest against the Charlotte Hornets.

There is a real dearth of perimeter defensive talent in Charles Lee's rotation, and in clutch moments, James can earn his way onto the floor with his defensive acumen. It is unlikely that he carves out a role in the Hornets' deep stable of guards, but if he does, it'll be by excelling as a defender.

Aside from Edgecombe and Broome, the 76ers are also eyeing veterans Justin Edwards and Jalen Hood-Schifino in Las Vegas. While both had moments in Salt Lake City, they looked lost on Thursday night. Edwards managed just six points in 20 minutes, while Hood-Schifino failed to record a single point in 21 minutes.
