Ian McNeeley contributed two points (1-1 FG) and one steal across six minutes during Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.

Rookie Season Performance

McNeeley saw the floor in Friday's blowout loss, marking just his second appearance of April. The rookie first-rounder played a muted role for the Hornets, averaging 4.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 11.9 minutes per contest across 31 regular-season outings off the bench.

G League Stats

He appeared in 20 G League games for the Greensboro Swarm, with whom he averaged 19.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists across 31.9 minutes per contest.

Future Outlook

The 20-year-old will look to earn a more sizable role in 2026-27. The only notable rotation player the Hornets could lose in free agency is Coby White.
