Three-year Duke basketball center Marques Bolden began this season on a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks. Although he saw action in only two games and didn’t score a point, it was a promising sign in his pro career considering he hadn’t played in the NBA since his limited 2020-21 campaign with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But the Bucks waived Bolden back in early January.
Now, though, the 25-year-old Texas native, undrafted in 2019 after frequently drawing a start alongside Zion Williamson & Co. for the electrifying 2018-19 Blue Devils, has agreed to a 10-day deal with the Charlotte Hornets. The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported the signing on Tuesday morning.
Marques Bolden becomes the third Duke basketball talent on contract with the Hornets (13-41), alongside second-year center Mark Williams, who remains out indefinitely with a back injury, and veteran guard Seth Curry, who landed in Charlotte from the Dallas Mavericks via the trade route earlier this month.
