| Returns to action with Latvia The Scoop:Bertans missed the Hornets' finals regular-season game due to Achilles soreness, but his return to game action with Latvia bodes well for his return in 2024-25. The 31-year-old was a non-factor for the Thunder last season, and he was acquired via trade by the Hornets on Feb. 8. Bertans went on to play 28 games for the club, during which he averaged 8.8 points and 1.8 rebounds across 20.8 minutes per game. Jul 2 2:36 ET - | ||||||||
| Out for regular-season finale Bertans (Achilles) won't play Sunday versus Cleveland, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. The Scoop: Bertans had suited up in 24 consecutive contests for Charlotte, but he'll miss the season finale with left Achilles soreness. Largely an afterthought for Oklahoma City to begin the season, Bertans was a regular part of head coach Steve Clifford's rotation after coming over to Charlotte in a Feb. 8 trade. Over 28 appearances with the Hornets, Bertans averaged 8.8 points, 2.4 three-pointers, 1.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.8 steals in 20.8 minutes while shooting 39.4 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from downtown. His contract contains a $16 million early termination option for 2024-25, but don't expect Bertans to forgo that salary, given that he would be hard pressed to garner that kind of money as a free agent this summer.

| Questionable for Sunday Bertans (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. The Scoop: The Hornets are already very shorthanded, so they will be hoping the veteran can give it a go. If not, guys like Aleksej Pokusevski and Marques Bolden could have more opportunities.

| Back to bench Bertans won't start Friday's game against the Magic. The Scoop: With Vasilije Micic (shoulder) and Miles Bridges (wrist) returning to action, Bertans and JT Thor will shift to the bench after making spot starts Wednesday. Over his last 18 bench appearances, Bertans has averaged 9.1 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 22.6 minutes per game. Apr 5 10:29 ET |
| Busy defender in Wednesday's start Bertans accumulated seven points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and four steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 89-86 loss to Portland. The Scoop: While he didn't get much going on offense, Bertans did tie his career high in steals while making his first start of the season. The 31-year-old forward has seen a steady role in the Hornets' injury-ravaged rotation since the beginning of March, but Bertans has averaged just 8.8 points, 2.3 threes, 2.2 boards, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.7 minutes a contest during that time.
