Sims signed a contract with the Hornets on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

This is likely an Exhibit 10 contract for Sims, meaning he'll be a candidate for the Greensboro Swarm in the G League. Sims is the all-time leading scorer for the Swarm, so this move makes a lot of sense for both sides.

Sims supplied 25 points (10-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes in Saturday's 109-80 Summer League win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Sims posted a team-high mark in three-pointers en route to a game-high 25 points during an extremely efficient outing. The 26-year-old appeared in 49 outings with the G League's Greensboro Swarm in 2024-25, during which he averaged 19.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.0 minutes per game. Now, the Hornets will face the Kings in Sunday's championship game.

EDGE Analysis

Sims averaged 6.0 points, 1.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 18.2 minutes per game across five outings with the Hornets since signing his first 10-day contract April 3. He's eligible to play in Charlotte's regular-season finale against the Celtics on Sunday but will likely operate behind KJ Simpson and Damion Baugh.

EDGE Analysis

After inking his 10-day deal on April 3, Sims appeared in each of the Hornets' ensuing five games, averaging 6.0 points, 2.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 18.2 minutes.

The Hornets signed Sims to a 10-day contract Thursday, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
