Top JT Thor News

  • Cavaliers' JT Thor: Recalled from G League

    The Cavaliers recalled Thor from the G League's Cleveland Charge on Thursday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Thor will be available for the Cavaliers' game Thursday against the Nuggets, but he's unlikely to see the court if the contest is competitive. The two-way forward has appeared in just two games at the NBA level this season, playing 15 minutes in total.

  • Cavaliers' JT Thor: Posts season-high 12 points

    Thor racked up 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 victory over the Pelicans.

    Thor made just his second appearance of the season for the Cavaliers during Wednesday's blowout win over the Pelicans. The 22-year-old forward capitalized on his extended playing time by converting all four of his field-goal attempts and posting a season-high 12 points. As a two-way player, Thor will continue to split time between the NBA and G League.

  • Cavaliers' JT Thor: Inks two-way pact with Cleveland

    The Cavaliers signed Thor to a two-way contract Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    After three years with the Hornets, Thor will join the Cavs on a two-way deal. The 21-year-old played in 63 regular-season games for Charlotte last season, during which he averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds across 12.4 minutes. Thor also shot a career-high 34.6 percent from deep while averaging 1.3 attempts per game.

  • JT Thor: Set to play for South Sudan

    Thor is included on South Sudan's roster for the Paris Olympics.

    Thor spent the past three seasons in the NBA with the Hornets but became an unrestricted free agent in late June. Over 63 appearances with Charlotte last year, he averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game. He'll have a chance to compete for South Sudan in the Olympics as he continues to seek out a new deal in the NBA.

  • JT Thor: Hitting free agency

    The Hornets declined their $1.99 million team option on Thor's contract Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Thor spent his first three professional seasons in Charlotte, but he never developed into a dependable rotation player after joining the club as a second-round pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He made 63 appearances (three starts) in 2023-24, averaging just 3.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 12.4 minutes while shooting 43.7 percent from the floor. The 21-year-old forward still has youth working in his favor, so it wouldn't be surprising if another organization looked to bring him aboard on a two-way deal or a non-guaranteed contract.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Career night vs. Cleveland

    Thor notched 20 points (8-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in 41 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 victory over the Cavaliers.

    Thor got his third start of the season in the Hornets' regular-season finale. He took advantage by scoring a career-high 20 points and was one rebound shy of registering the first double-double of his career. Thor finishes his third season with Charlotte averaging 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds over 12.4 minutes per game.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: In starting lineup

    Thor will start at power forward in Sunday's season finale versus the Cavaliers.

    With the Hornets sitting most of their regular rotation, Thor will get an opportunity to shine. He has averaged 7.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 27.6 minutes in two starts this season.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Retreats to bench

    Thor isn't starting Friday against the Magic.

    Thor drew a start Wednesday against the Trail Blazers and tallied nine points, five rebounds, an assist and a block in 27 minutes during the loss. However, he'll retreat to the bench since Miles Bridges (wrist) is returning to action Friday.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Starting Wednesday

    Thor will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Portland, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

    Thor is getting a spot start due to Miles Bridges' (wrist) absence, so the former could be someone to consider in daily leagues. Joining Thor on the top unit are Tre Mann, Brandon Miller, Davis Bertans and Grant Williams.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Good to go

    Thor (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

    As expected, Thor has been upgraded from probable to available. He's appeared in five of Charlotte's last seven games, averaging 3.0 points and 9.8 minutes during that stretch.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Probable for Monday

    Thor (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against Cleveland.

    Thor was unavailable for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to his shoulder injury, but he'll likely be able to return Monday. However, he's been an inconsistent part of the rotation recently, so it's unclear how much playing time he'll see.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Downgraded to out

    Thor (shoulder) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's matchup against the Hawks.

    Thor logged 13 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's loss to Orlando, but he won't be able to feature in this one. His availability is not going to impact many fantasy decisions, however, as Thor is averaging a mere 8.5 minutes per game since the All-Star break. His next chance to play will come against the Cavaliers on Monday.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Downgraded to questionable

    Thor (shoulder) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Saturday's game in Atlanta.

    Thor was originally given a probable designation, so he is now trending in the wrong direction. More clarity on his status figures to come closer to tipoff after he is able to test his shoulder out.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Probable for Saturday

    Thor is probable for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to left shoulder inflammation.

    Despite his shoulder issue, Thor will likely be able to suit up against the Hawks. He played 13 minutes Tuesday against Orlando but hasn't been a consistent part of the Hornets' rotation recently.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Minor role continues

    Thor ended with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound over 12 minutes during Saturday's 110-99 win over the Nets.

    Thor played 13 minutes off the bench, offering very little in terms of fantasy production. He has been in and out of the rotation over the past month despite the fact the Hornets are dealing with injuries to multiple players. At this point, there is no reason to consider him a worthwhile fantasy target, even in deeper formants.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Hits two threes

    Thor racked up seven points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two blocks across 16 minutes during Monday's 128-125 victory over the Timberwolves.

    Thor notched his third game this season with multiple made threes, encapsulating what has been a disappointing season from behind the arc. Through 35 appearances thus far, the 21-year-old is shooting just 36.2 percent from the field on 3.6 shots per game. Thor's 469-minute sample size is small, but his defensive performance has been credible, as the Hornets are 5.5 points better per 100 possessions with Thor on the court compared to when he's on the bench.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Minimal playing time continues

    Thor provided two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in six minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 win over Sacramento.

    With Charlotte shorthanded, Thor has played in only four of the last seven games, logging six or fewer minutes in each of his appearances during that stretch. The 2021 second-round pick doesn't need to be on fantasy radars, even in deeper leagues.

  • Hornets' JT Thor: Does little in 22 minutes

    Thor finished Saturday's 135-82 loss to the 76ers with two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and two rebounds in 22 minutes.

    Thor played meaningful minutes in the loss, yet still managed to produce little on the stat sheet. He's now played 20 minutes just six times in 21 appearances this season, and even if he starts to see elevated playing time on a more consistent basis, he's unlikely to generate enough numbers in any one area to make for an appealing streaming option.
