 Former Hornets and four-time NBA All-Star Kemba Walker officially announced his retirement from pro basketball. Kemba was the ninth pick of the 2011 NBA drafts by the Bobcats after leading UConn to a national title. He is Charlotte's all-time leading scorer and the three-pointers. He was traded to the Celtics, last played in the NBA in early 2023 with the Mavericks, and then last season in the French League. Cleveland Cavaliers agree on a three-year $150 million contract extension with All-Star Donovan Mitchell.
