Hornets eye Mitchell Robinson in 2026 free agency push

The Charlotte Hornets are reportedly considering a pursuit of center Mitchell Robinson in the upcoming free agency period. With the team holding two first-round picks in the 2026 draft, insiders suggest the Hornets may choose to retain these selections to strengthen their roster. The franchise aims to bolster its frontcourt options as there are limited trade opportunities for big men currently available. Robinson is coming off a championship season with the New York Knicks, where he averaged 5.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Charlotte’s focus on free agency could provide them with a strategic addition to complement their young lineup.
