Edmond Sumner News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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).

Out Sunday Sumner (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sumner injured his hip during Saturday's win over Miami and that will keep him on the sidelines for Sunday's game. He's typically not a significant part of the rotation, so his absence from the active roster won't make a dramatic impact in fantasy hoops.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Sumner suffered a right hip injury Saturday against the Heat, and his status will become clearer as we get closer to the 6 p.m. ET tipoff. However, Sumner's availability shouldn't impact many fantasy decisions, as he holds a minimal role off the bench for Brooklyn.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Saturday Sumner won't return to Saturday's game against the Heat due to a right hip injury, Meghan Triplett of GrindCityMedia.com reports.

Impact It's unclear when Sumner suffered the injury, but he's done for the night. Even though his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions ahead of Sunday's game against the Magic, his status is worth monitoring in case he's forced to miss more games.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Sumner (personal) isn't on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Houston, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sumner missed the last three games following the birth of his child, but he should be able to suit up Tuesday. He hasn't been part of Brooklyn's rotation in recent weeks, so it's not a guarantee that he'll see playing time against the Rockets.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Sunday Sumner (personal) will not play in Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Summer will miss a third straight absence for personal matters Sunday following the birth of his child. He will have another chance to suit up Tuesday against Houston.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Friday Sumner (personal) remains unavailable for Friday's game versus the Celtics, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Sumner hasn't appeared in a contest since Feb. 7, with his last two absences being the result of the 27-year-old taking some personal time following the birth of his child. He could rejoin the Nets for Sunday's home game versus the Hornets, but Sumner may continue to find himself outside of head coach Jacque Vaughn's rotation.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Now listed as out Sumner (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Sumner was initially left off the Nets' injury report, but he's since been downgraded to out and will miss a second straight game due to personal reasons. However, he hasn't been a regular part of head coach Jacque Vaughn's rotation recently, so his extended absence shouldn't have a major impact.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not on Wednesday's injury report Sumner (personal) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Sumner wasn't available Tuesday against the Bucks while tending to a personal matter, but he should be able to suit up a day later. However, he hasn't been part of Brooklyn's rotation recently.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Tuesday Sumner is away from the team due to a personal matter and won't be available Tuesday for the Nets' game against the Bucks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sumner hadn't been a part of head coach Jacque Vaughn's rotation for any of the past six games, so his absence shouldn't affect how the minutes are distributed among the Brooklyn guards and wings. The 27-year-old announced Tuesday via his personal Twitter account that he's observing the birth of his child, so it wouldn't be surprising if he remains away from the team for Wednesday's road game against the Knicks as well.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Sumner will come off the bench Tuesday against the Suns, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Ben Simmons (knee) returning to the lineup, Sumner will head back to his usual bench role. His minutes could be reduced even further once Spencer Dinwiddie (coach's decision) is available to make his team debut.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well in another start Sumner contributed 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 33 minutes during Monday's 124-116 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Sumner has been hot over the past two games, as he's seen big minutes and plenty of opportunity with Brooklyn missing the main guys in their starting lineup. However, once Ben Simmons (knee), Kevin Durant (knee) and Spencer Dinwiddie (trade) are brought back into the mix, it's tough to envision Sumner maintaining his current production.

FEBRUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pours in career-high 29 points Sumner racked up a career-high 29 points (9-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT) to go with three assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 125-123 vic...

Impact With Kyrie Irving (calf) sitting out Saturday and his tenure with the Nets perhaps coming to an end as the Feb. 9 trade deadline approaches, Sumner moved into the starting five and took advantage of the star point guard's absence, as well as several others' on Brooklyn's injury-riddled roster. Sumner was able to achieve the new personal best in scoring thanks to a 27.6 percent usage rate and some strong efficiency from the free-throw line and two-point range, but he'll likely lose out on some touches if any of Seth Curry (thigh), T.J. Warren (shin) and Ben Simmons (knee) are back in action in full capacity Monday against the Clippers. The Nets could still choose to stick with Sumner in the starting five even if all three players are back in action Monday, but the 27-year-old likely won't have much longevity on the top unit since Brooklyn would presumably get another starting point guard back in any trade prior to the deadline or would reinstall Irving as the starter if he isn't moved and is willing to continue playing for the Nets following the deadline.

Will start Saturday Sumner will join the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Wizards.

Impact Sumner joins an unusual starting lineup with Kyrie Irving (calf), Kevin Durant (knee), Ben Simmons (knee) and T.J. Warren (lower leg) all sidelined. With Irving also potentially on the way out by Thursday's NBA trade deadline, Sumner could contend for more minutes moving forward, though that will depend on what the Nets receive in return for the star point guard.

Ready to roll Saturday Sumner (Achilles) will be available for Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Sumner racked up a season-best 24 points last time out over just 24 minutes, displaying impressive efficiency from the field and the charity stripe along the way. He will look to back that up with another strong effort Saturday and may have earned some additional run with the showing, especially with Ben Simmons (knee) and T.J. Warren (lower leg) both still out.

Dealing with Achilles soreness Sumner is probable for Saturday's game against the Nets due to left Achilles soreness, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Sumner is coming off a season-high 24 points in just 19 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Pistons, but it appears he's picked up an Achilles injury as well. However, the issue doesn't seem to be too severe and shouldn't sideline the backup point guard for Saturday's matchup. Sumner has garnered a sporadic role during his first season with Brooklyn, averaging 6.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 13.8 minutes per game.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 24 points off bench Sumner had 24 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes during Thursday's 130-122 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Sumner was having a solid night off the bench over the first three quarters, recording 12 points on 2-of-4 shooting while also knocking down all seven free-throw attempts. However, the point guard really found his legs in the fourth quarter, going 5-of-6 from the field for another 12 points to give him a season-high 24 on the night. Sumner added five boards and three assists, though he did commit five personal fouls despite playing only 19 minutes. It was his second 20-point game of the season, and he's now shooting 60 percent from the field over his last five contests.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 13 off bench Sumner contributed 13 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 106-98 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Sumner retreated to the bench Tuesday after starting Sunday against Oklahoma City, but he actually saw an uptick in playing time against the Spurs and scored in double figures for the first time since Dec. 21 while matching his third-highest rebound total of the season. Over five appearances in January, Sumner's averaged 4.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game.

JANUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits starting five Sumner is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at San Antonio, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact The 27-year-old made his 10th start of the season Sunday against the Thunder but will return to the bench Tuesday with Ben Simmons (back) rejoining the lineup. Sumner has averaged 4.9 points and 1.3 assists in 11.7 minutes when coming off the bench this season, though he could see more action Tuesday with both Kyrie Irving (calf) and Kevin Durant (knee) unavailable.
