Sumner was released by Charlotte on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Sumner's roster spot will be taken by veteran Ish Smith. With Frank Ntilikina suffering a fractured left tibia, adding a traditional backup point guard was a need for Charlotte.

The Hornets signed Sumner to a one-year deal Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reports. Sumner missed the entire 2021-22 campaign due to an Achilles tear but made 53 appearances, including 12 starts, for Brooklyn last season. In 2022-23, he averaged 7.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes on 46.1/35.6/91/7 shooting splits. Sumner will likely compete for the backup point guard role behind LaMelo Ball (ankle).

Sumner is expected to be released by the Nets, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. The Nets have until Saturday to make a decision on whether to guarantee Sumner's contract, but it appears he'll be headed elsewhere. If Sumner does end up getting waived, Scotto reports that he'll have several potential suitors. Sumner had a lot of good moments with the Nets in 2022-23, averaging 7.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes.

Sumner (hip) isn't listed on the Nets' injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against Philadelphia, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports. Sumner wasn't available for the regular-season finale due to a hip issue, but as expected, he's good to go for the playoffs. However, with the Nets essentially at full strength, it's unclear if the backup point guard will be part of Brooklyn's postseason rotation.

Sumner (hip) will not play in Sunday's game against Philadelphia. As expected, Sumner will be held out due to a bruised right hip. The Nets are likely just exercising caution in what's ultimately a meaningless regular-season finale.
