Hornets waive Rob Dillingham

Rob Dillingham

CHA Guard

Player Stats

Hornets waived Rob Dillingham.

Two days after acquiring him from the Bulls, the Hornets have waived Dillingham. The eighth overall pick in the 2024 draft, the 6-foot-3 guard couldn’t carve out a role in Minnesota before being traded to Chicago in February. Given the number of point guards on Charlotte’s roster, Dillingham faced long odds to make the team’s Opening Night roster.

Rob Dillingham

CHA Guard #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rob Dillingham was acquired by the Charlotte Hornets from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Buddy Hield and cash, reports ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The Hornets create a $9.4 million trade exception as part of the deal. The Bulls get cash to make up for the difference in salaries. Dillingham averaged 9.6 points in 30 games with the Bulls last season. He should have a regular bench role with the Hornets.
Rob Dillingham

CHI Guard #7

Rob Dillingham underwent surgery to remove a ganglion cyst from his right wrist.

Acquired from the Timberwolves at the trade deadline, Dillingham struggled with a right wrist injury early in his arrival in the Windy City. However, the second-year guard made strides down the stretch, shooting just over 46 percent from the field in April. With Josh Giddey under contract for the next three seasons, Dillingham’s best opportunity at playing time in 2026-27 is likely to be as the backup point guard if he can win the job in training camp.
Rob Dillingham

CHI Guard #7

Rob Dillingham tallied 25 points (11-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Mavericks.

Recording his second 20-point game of the season, Dillingham finished Sunday’s defeat with his first career 25/5/5 stat line. The second-year guard was responsible for five turnovers, but the overall output was encouraging. With the Bulls needing to hire a new executive VP of basketball operations and a new general manager, it’s unclear what opportunities Dillingham will have next season. For now, he should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.
Anfernee Simons

CHI Guard #22

Anfernee Simons (wrist) will sit out the final two games of the season.

Simons is one of a handful of Bulls that will sit out the last two games of the regular season. Collin Sexton will see plenty of minutes with Josh Giddey (hamstring) also out while Rob Dillingham should have a significant bench role.
Rob Dillingham

CHI Guard #7

Rob Dillingham had 26 points (9-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and five three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Wizards.

Dillingham is seeing more minutes with Josh Giddey (hamstring) out lately and he capitalized on his opportunity Tuesday against the Wizards. The 21-year-old shooting guard dropped a season-high 26 points and five three-pointers in 27 minutes off the bench. A top-10 pick in 2024, Dillingham showed he could be a player to watch going forward.
Josh Giddey

CHI Guard #3

Josh Giddey (hamstring) will not play against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Down one of its top scorers, leading passers, and best rebounders, Chicago could find itself in a tough battle with Indiana on Wednesday. However, Giddey’s absence should open the door for players like Collin Sexton and Rob Dillingham to see more minutes. Sexton, on the heels of a 20-point outing, could be a nice player for fantasy managers to stream.
Rob Dillingham

CHI Guard #7

Rob Dillingham (knee) is available to play against the Thunder on Friday.

Dillingham will suit up despite dealing with patellar tendinitis in both knees. He has had success on offense recently, scoring in double figures in six of his last seven games, and he’ll continue to be a sparkplug off the bench for Chicago.
Rob Dillingham

CHI Guard #7

Rob Dillingham (knee) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Dillingham is dealing with patellar tendinitis in both of his knees. With the Bulls headed for the draft lottery, rolling the dice on anyone health-wise feels unlikely. If Dillingham can’t play, Tre Jones and Collin Sexton can absorb those minutes.
Anfernee Simons

CHI Guard #22

Anfernee Simons (wrist) and Jaden Ivey (knee) are out for Monday’s matchup with the Rockets.

There’s no clear timeline for either Simons or Ivey to return to Chicago’s lineup. Until the pair is cleared to return, Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham should handle additional responsibilities.
Collin Sexton

CHI Guard #2

Collin Sexton (leg) is probable for Thursday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Sexton was back in the Bulls’ rotation on Wednesday after missing the previous four games, playing 18 minutes off the bench. He’ll likely take on a similar workload if allowed to play, making fellow reserve Rob Dillingham a more attractive option in deep leagues.

Dennis Schröder (foot) is questionable to play against the Wizards on Friday.

Schröder has been the starter with Coby White (calf) sidelined to start the year. If Schröder is unavailable, Sion James will likely take over point guard duties, with Grayson Allen entering the starting unit. Rookie Christian Anderson Jr. would also likely take on extra minutes off the bench, and there is a slight chance he starts.

This will be a third straight absence for Walker, which will leave the 76ers thinner than usual down low. Adem Bona should take on a few extra minutes as the backup to Joel Embiid.

Brown is managing some soreness in his left knee, which could keep him on the sidelines against New York. If that happens, one of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope or Dean Wade would likely slide into the starting unit, with both taking on extra minutes.

Johnson missed Wednesday’s game against the Cavaliers, but there is a chance he returns to take on Charlotte. With AJ Dybantsa making his debut, Bilal Coulibaly played 27 minutes off the bench. If Johnson is back, Coulibaly will likely take on a smaller role.

Nembhard should be good to go, but he is still dealing with some stiffness in his neck. With Tyrese Haliburton set to miss a couple weeks with a hamstring injury, Nembhard should start at point guard again, where he dished out 14 assists on Wednesday.

Fontecchio could be back after missing Wednesday’s game against Atlanta. He didn’t see the floor in each of the last two games he was available for, so his status won’t alter the Miami rotation.
