Sumner was released by Charlotte on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sumner's roster spot will be taken by veteran Ish Smith. With Frank Ntilikina suffering a fractured left tibia, adding a traditional backup point guard was a need for Charlotte.

The Hornets signed Sumner to a one-year deal Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sumner missed the entire 2021-22 campaign due to an Achilles tear but made 53 appearances, including 12 starts, for Brooklyn last season. In 2022-23, he averaged 7.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes on 46.1/35.6/91/7 shooting splits. Sumner will likely compete for the backup point guard role behind LaMelo Ball (ankle).

The Nets waived Sumner on Saturday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sumner made 31 appearances for the Nets in 2022-23 after spending the first four years of his career with Indiana. For Brooklyn, he averaged 7.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes. Sumner will enter the 2023-24 season as a free agent.

Sumner is expected to be released by the Nets, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nets have until Saturday to make a decision on whether to guarantee Sumner's contract, but it appears he'll be headed elsewhere. If Sumner does end up getting waived, Scotto reports that he'll have several potential suitors. Sumner had a lot of good moments with the Nets in 2022-23, averaging 7.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes.

Sumner (hip) isn't listed on the Nets' injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against Philadelphia, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sumner wasn't available for the regular-season finale due to a hip issue, but as expected, he's good to go for the playoffs. However, with the Nets essentially at full strength, it's unclear if the backup point guard will be part of Brooklyn's postseason rotation.

Sumner (hip) will not play in Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Sumner will be held out due to a bruised right hip. The Nets are likely just exercising caution in what's ultimately a meaningless regular-season finale.

Sumner (hip) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Sumner has been dealing with a hip issue since late March and is at risk of missing the Nets' regular-season finale, especially now that he's been downgraded from questionable to doubtful. The Nets will rest Spencer Dinwiddie and Joe Harris while not having Seth Curry (ankle), so the potential absence of Sumner would leave the team even more shorthanded in the backcourt. If the former Xavier standout is ruled out, then Patty Mills, Cam Thomas and David Duke could be in line to see additional minutes.

Sumner (right hip contusion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sumner has been dealing with the right hip issue since late March and is at risk of missing the Nets' regular-season finale. With Spencer Dinwiddie (rest) and Joe Harris (rest) also questionable and Seth Curry (ankle) ruled out, Sumner could see a large workload if he manages to suit up.

Sumner (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sumner has been upgraded from questionable to available, but he's not guaranteed to see any playing time. He's made just three appearances in March, posting 8.0 points and 1.0 rebounds in 12.3 minutes during those contests.

Sumner (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Even if Sumner is cleared, he may not actually see the floor. He's essentially been out of the rotation since early February.
