Hornets Sign Moussa Diabate to Three-Year Contract

The 23-year-old forward earns a standard NBA deal after an impressive season but faces uncertainty due to a recent eye injury.

Moussa Diabate, previously on a two-way contract, signed a three-year standard NBA deal with the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.
The team did not disclose financial terms of the contract, which secures Diabate through the 2025-26 season.
The 23-year-old forward is averaging career highs this season, including 4.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and a 59.4% field goal percentage in 43 games.
Diabate sustained a right eye injury during Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons, leaving his availability for upcoming games uncertain.
Charlotte has shown increasing confidence in Diabate, recently trading away other frontcourt players, though his starting role remains fluid.
