The 2018-19 Charlotte Hornets finished their season in the NBA with a 39-43 record, narrowly missing the playoffs by placing ninth in the Eastern Conference. Under the guidance of head coach James Borrego, the team showed flashes of potential but struggled with consistency throughout the season.
Kemba Walker, the team’s standout performer, had an impressive season, averaging 25.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. His efforts earned him a spot as a starter in the NBA All-Star Game, highlighting his vital role in the team’s offense.
Despite Walker’s performances, the Hornets faced challenges, particularly in closing out tight games, which ultimately cost them a postseason berth. The season ended with uncertainty surrounding Walker’s future, as he entered free agency amid speculation about his potential departure from the franchise.
