Following their final preseason game against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Charlotte Hornets finalized their 18-man roster. After waiving Exhibit 10 signee Wyatt Fricks and veteran swingman Pat Connaughton earlier in the week, Charlotte waived Jarkel Joiner and Latrell Wrightsell Saturday.

Although the Hornets made plenty of trades throughout the offseason, Charlotte didn't bring in a single free agent on a standard contract. That said, their roster is much different from a season ago, as it includes six new players: Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale, Naz Reid, Dennis Schroder, Hannes Steinbach and Christian Anderson Jr. Charlotte's official roster to enter the 2026-27 season reads as follows:
