The Charlotte Hornets are hoping next season looks much better than the last, which means they will need aggression, consistency, and health.

On Friday, the team announced some news related to the health of one of their players.

The Hornets said that Josh Green underwent surgery to address instability in his left shoulder.

The 24-year-old star, who just finished his first season in Charlotte, is expected to make a full recovery.

Green posted 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists on 42.8 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from the three-point line in 2024-25.

Before his time with the Hornets, Green played for the Dallas Mavericks, becoming a reliable bench player.

Now that he’s in Charlotte, he is getting much more time in the starting lineup.

Green is still young, which means his recovery is certain.

Still, there is no official timetable for his return, although fans are hoping he’s ready to go when the new season kicks off in the fall.

The Hornets might go through some changes this summer.

They have been fighting to get competitive for years, but consistently fall short.

There has been more buzz around the team lately, especially with new management, some new players, and a high pick in next week’s draft.

The team needs to get deeper and has to remain healthy.

Hopefully, Green is totally healed at the beginning of 2025-26, and the Hornets can have a season much better than what they are used to.

Will they finally be competitive again and one of the more exciting teams in the East?
