Wong ended Friday's 109-95 loss to Chicago with nine points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes.
Wong played a career-high 22 minutes, scoring nine points for the third straight game. The Hornets continue to struggle at the point guard position, trying to stay afloat until LaMelo Ball returns from his calf injury. Although it is unlikely Wong will take the starting job away from Vasilije Micic, he is someone to keep an eye on, at least until Ball makes his return to the court.

Hornets' Isaiah Wong: Headed to Charlotte
Rotowire
Wong agreed to a two-way deal with the Hornets on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Wong has been playing in the G League with the Salt Lake City Stars since being waived by the Jazz in early October. He's gotten off to a strong start to the G League campaign, averaging 24.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 steals over 31.4 minutes. Charlotte's addition of Wong gives the team additional depth at point guard with LaMelo Ball (calf) and Tre Mann (back) both out for multiple weeks, though Vasilije Micic and KJ Simpson are presumably in line ahead of Wong for minutes in head coach Charles Lee's rotation.

Pacers' Isaiah Wong: Knocks down five threes
Rotowire
Wong tallied 24 points (6-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 7-11 FT) and three assists over 22 minutes during Sunday's 100-85 Summer League loss to the Pistons.
Wong was a bright spot for the Pacers in the team's Summer League finale, posting team-high marks in scoring and assists. The 22-year-old will likely spend most of his time with Indiana's G League affiliate with guards Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard likely to get most of the run with the parent club.

Pacers' Isaiah Wong: Drafted 55th by Indiana
Rotowire
Wong was drafted 55th overall by the Pacers in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Wong played four seasons at Miami, putting up averages of 16.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 triples in 2022-23. A 6-foot-4 guard, Wong may struggle to find playing time despite the rebuild in Indiana, as Tyrese Haliburton is the face of the franchise and T.J. McConnell is one of the most reliable backups in the NBA.
