Hornets: Waived G Rob Dillingham.

The Charlotte Hornets, sitting at 44–38 and ninth in the Eastern Conference, have continued to tweak their roster as they chase a higher playoff seed. After a recent acquisition, guard Rob Dillingham was placed on waivers, a move that reflects the team’s effort to fine‑tune its backcourt depth while maintaining a net rating of +4.8.

The following day the Bulls completed a trade, sending Dillingham to Chicago in exchange for guard Buddy Hield. The swap gives the Hornets a proven scorer in Hield while the Bulls add a young guard with potential. Both clubs remain focused on improving their positions as the regular season winds down, with the Hornets looking to sustain their recent six‑of‑ten run and the Bulls hoping the new pieces will help them climb the standings.
