  09/10/2024 • By RotoWire

The deal will include NBA opt-outs, but the specifics aren't known yet. In 475 total NBA appearances, Bertans averaged 7.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.9 three-pointers.

• Davis Bertans: Waived by Buzz City

  07/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Hornets waived Bertans on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Before the start of free agency last week, Bertans unsurprisingly declined the early termination option on his five-year, $80 million contract, which had been set to expire after the 2024-25 season. Rather than keeping Bertans on board as a possible trade chip for salary-matching purposes during the upcoming season, the Hornets will instead part ways with the 31-year-old forward, who played well for Charlotte upon coming over in a Feb. 8 trade with the Thunder. Over 28 appearances for the Hornets, Bertans averaged 8.8 points, 2.4 three-pointers, 1.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.8 steals in 20.8 minutes per contest.

• Hornets' Davis Bertans: Returns to action with Latvia

  07/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bertans produced nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one steal and one block across 20 minutes in Latvia's 83-55 win over Georgia on Tuesday. Bertans missed the Hornets' final regular-season game due to Achilles soreness, but his return to game action with Latvia bodes well for his return in 2024-25. The 31-year-old was a non-factor for the Thunder last season, and he was acquired via trade by the Hornets on Feb. 8. Bertans went on to play 28 games for the club, during which he averaged 8.8 points and 1.8 rebounds across 20.8 minutes per game.

• Hornets' Davis Bertans: Out for regular-season finale

  04/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bertans (Achilles) won't play Sunday versus Cleveland, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. Bertans had suited up in 24 consecutive contests for Charlotte, but he'll miss the season finale with left Achilles soreness. Largely an afterthought for Oklahoma City to begin the season, Bertans was a regular part of head coach Steve Clifford's rotation after coming over to Charlotte in a Feb. 8 trade. Over 28 appearances with the Hornets, Bertans averaged 8.8 points, 2.4 three-pointers, 1.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.8 steals in 20.8 minutes while shooting 39.4 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from downtown. His contract contains a $16 million early termination option for 2024-25, but don't expect Bertans to forgo that salary, given that he would be hard pressed to garner that kind of money as a free agent this summer.

• Hornets' Davis Bertans: Questionable for Sunday

  04/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  Bertans (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. The Hornets are already very shorthanded, so they will be hoping the veteran can give it a go. If not, guys like Aleksej Pokusevski and Marques Bolden could have more opportunities.
