Head coach Charles Lee implied Sunday that Mann could be an option to start this season, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rookie first-rounder Kon Knueppel got the first crack at a start in Sunday's preseason opener against the Thunder, and Collin Sexton remains in play for the first unit as well. This situation could remain unresolved even once the season begins, as it could end up being a matchup-based approach. Mann appears more likely to serve as Charlotte's top backup point guard behind LaMelo Ball more often than not.

Mann agreed to a three-year, $24 million deal with the Hornets on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Hornets didn't tender a qualifying offer to Mann, making him an unrestricted free agent. However, the 24-year-old guard is set to return to Charlotte on a new deal and will likely provide a spark off the team's bench in 2025-26. He appeared in only 13 regular-season games in 2024-25 due to a back disc herniation, averaging 14.1 points, 3.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers across 24.5 minutes per game during that span.

The Hornets did not tender a $6.94 million qualifying offer to Mann on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
This move makes Mann an unrestricted free agent. This is a surprising development because Mann had a lot of success with the Hornets prior to his injury -- he averaged 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 13 regular-season appearances before being held out with the back injury for the remainder of the campaign. He was deemed fully healthy in June and is likely to draw considerable interest as a free agent.

Mann has been declared healthy after being held to 13 games during the 2024-25 season due to back disc herniation, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Charania notes that Mann has participated in all of the club's offseason basketball activities, including 5-on-5 scrimmages. The Florida product was off to a strong start to the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 14.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 made threes in 13 appearances before being held out with the back injury and will become a restricted free agent over the offseason.

Mann (back) has been ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 season, Spencer Percy of Buzz Beat Podcast reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mann is expected to need surgery on his back to repair a disc, effectively ending his season. The Hornets have gotten used to playing without the 23-year-old, as he hasn't seen any game action since Nov. 21, but this is still another big loss for the club, who will continue to rely on Vasilije Micic and two-way players KJ Simpson and Isaiah Wong in the backcourt.

Mann (back) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Mann will now miss his 29th straight contest due to a back injury. Last Friday, coach Charles Lee said, "When we came home from the West Coast trip, our performance staff reevaluated him and checked in, and Tre was not where he wanted to be; physically he wasn't where our performance team wanted him to be," Austin Leake of Sports Illustrated reports. Until Mann is able to participate in full-contact practice or Charlotte provides a timetable for his return, he can be considered out indefinitely.

Mann (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis

Mann (back) will not play Friday against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Mann has been sidelined since Nov. 21 due to disc irritation in his back, and he's overdue for a re-evaluation -- Charlotte announced Dec. 30 that the guard would be re-evaluated in two weeks. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable at best for Monday's game versus Dallas.

Mann (back) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Mann hasn't played since Nov. 21 due to disc irritation in his back, and he won't be able to return to Charlotte's lineup Wednesday. His next chance to play is Friday against Chicago. Vasilije Micic should continue functioning as the backup point guard behind LaMelo Ball against Utah, and Nick Smith should be able to maintain a spot in the Hornets' rotation off the bench.
