Hornets Add PJ Hall on Two-Way Deal, Waive Drew Peterson

The move addresses Charlotte’s thin center rotation due to injuries.

Overview

Agent Matt Bollero told ESPN that Charlotte signed former Clemson center PJ Hall to a two-way contract on Dec. 24, and the Hornets waived two-way forward Drew Peterson to open the spot.
The frontcourt addition follows injuries to centers Ryan Kalkbrenner (left elbow sprain) and Mason Plumlee (right groin strain), leaving Moussa Diabate as the lone healthy traditional five.
Hall has produced in the G League with the Greensboro Swarm and Memphis Hustle, averaging 14.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.5 blocks in 27.5 minutes across 14 games.
The 6-foot-8 big man previously held two-way deals with the Nuggets and Grizzlies, logging limited NBA time (26 games total) before Memphis waived him in November to add Jahmai Mashack.
A first-team All-ACC performer at Clemson who joined the Swarm after his Memphis stint, Hall also played for Charlotte’s Summer League squad before this season.
