The 2024 NBA off-season officially comes to an end! After five months, fans will witness stars in their favorite franchise jerseys. We are referring to the official Media Day, which is a prelude to the training camps. Moreover, it’s a day to unlock many unanswered questions through interviews and quick bytes. In the same vein, let’s find out what to expect in the Charlotte Hornets Media Day, which will be helmed by the team’s new coach Charles Lee.

Usually, the league organizes media day for all 30 teams on the same day. However, this time, there’s a twist. The Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets have already had their prelude on the 24 & 26 September because of their upcoming engagement in Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, the remaining 28 teams will have their media interaction on 30 September, which is today. Moreover, the league also revealed the allotted timing for the event.

The Hornets along with the 76ers, Cavs, Hawks, Knicks, Magic, Jazz, and Wizards have their slot scheduled at 11 a.m. ET at their respective home courts. LaMelo Ball & Co. will address the media from the Spectrum Center. Above all, fans also catch up on the live action of the exciting on NBA TV, NBA App, or NBA.com. Now that we know when and where to watch the event, let’s find out more about Buzz City’s media day.

What to expect on the Charlotte Hornets Media Day?

The Media Day isn’t only about the fun interviews and photoshoots. Fans can also have a clear picture of what to expect from their favorite team for the next nine months. Especially, looking at the Hornets, fans may want to know their teams’ outlook, as they sit out of playoff contention for the last 8 years.

Interestingly, the Buzz City has made significant changes to the side, heading into the 2024-25 season. First and foremost, the team has roped in a new head coach, Charles Lee. The 39-year-old has joined the Hornets after a successful stint with the Boston Celtics, winning the championship as an assistant coach. And, in 2021, he again won the championship as the assistant coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. So, heading into the fresh season with a new coach, who has the winning experience, is a major boost. So, Hornets fans could get the first glance of Lee’s vision for the team.

On the other hand, LaMelo Ball, who missed the majority of the previous season with an ankle injury, will definitely express his preparations for the upcoming season. Moreover, Brandon Miller, who had a decent rookie season, averaging 17.3 ppg, can reflect upon his expectations for his sophomore year. Above all, the team has an important roster complication yet to be addressed. It’s something to do with Miles Bridges, who has turned into the team’s 3rd best player after Miller’s entry.

In the 2025 offseason, Bridges will be eligible for an extension and if the star forward fails to attract an eye-catching deal, then the team might have to let go of him. So, the reporters on the ground may stir up some ruffles. In addition, fans can also get some insight into the rookies. The Hornets had selected Tidjane Salaun and KJ Simpson with 6th and 42nd pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. What do you expect from the Hornets Media Day? Let us know in the comments.
