Most teams are coached by parents, and Manriquez said he and Southlake coach Cheron Farley are the only two varsity coaches participa- ting. The league is planning a senior all-star game im- mediately after its cham- pionship July 3 to serve as the senior night the class of 2020 able to celebrate. least to have this league, it really helps them kind of deal with everything going on in a way that they can feel a little bit more comfort- able Manriquez said.

25 and the draft on Oct 15. Typically, the Combine is the same week as the draft lottery. AThree players on guar- anteed contract this season centers Bismack Biyom- bo andWilly Hernangomez and guard Dwayne Bacon become free agents. Biyombo and Hernango- mez were both in the rota- tion when last game was played, a March 11 victory in Miami. Bacon began the season as a start- er, but fell out of the rota- tion and was on assignment with the G-League Greens- boro Swarm.

APlayers can continue individual, voluntary workouts at the practice gym at Spectrum Center. The Hornets reopened the facility to players May 26 to a maximum of four players at a time. Thurs- NBA announcement provides some clarity; players and coaches know whether they were gearing up for a season restart or preparing for off-season skills improve- ment. AThe Hornets will still have room under the sala- ry cap when the next fiscal year begins, but likely not as much as pro- jected before the coro- navirus pandemic sus- pended the season. Loss of games, and gate re- ceipts once games resume without fans at Disney Wide World of Sports, will cost the NBA more than $1 billion in lost revenue.

In February, Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak anticipated about $28 million in off-season cap space. However, that was based on the projection then of a $115 million salary cap for each team. With league reve- nues plummeting, that cap number will likely fall. So while the Hornets will still be in an advantageous cap position, it be as large. That might not be a big issue, since Kupchak was never looking to make a major play in the 2020 free-agent class.

Whatever cap space the Hornets have might be more valua- ble, as other teams try to avoid paying luxury tax next season. That could provide opportunity for trades, where the Hornets receive a draft pick in return for absorbing a veteran contract. WHAT NEXT? The Hornets took a hard pivot this season to re- building around youth after Kemba departure for the Boston Celtics. Six players in their first or second NBA sea- sons accounted for 7,478 minutes, or of total playing time. Only the Atlanta Hawks devoted more playing time to first- or second-year players.

AWith top scorer Devonte Graham complet- ing the second of a three- season contract, the Horn- ets could sign him this off-season to an extension under salary-cap rules. The Hornets are restricted in how much they can offer him now, versus waiting for his rookie contract to expire after next season. AGuard Malik Monk is still suspended for vio- lation of the NBA anti- drug policy. That suspen- sion, announced Feb. 26, was not for a specific number of games or length of time but until determined to be full with the drug policy.

A not yet clear when the Hornets could resume any group team activities and if off-season mini- camps would be allowed, to help mitigate the long layoff until training camp in November. also yet to be determined if the league will reschedule a version of summer league in the fall (in late October after the draft), and how liberally the league would allow participation by veteran players. AThe Hornets will have their own first-round pick and the Cleveland second-round pick. They lost their sec- ond-round pick to the New York Knicks as par- tial compensation for the trade that acquired Her- nangomez. If the Boston second-round pick is in the 54-60 range, the Hornets get it.
