The Charlotte Hornets have won very little in their relatively short time in the NBA. They haven't made the playoffs since 2016, and they've never made it to even a conference finals. It may be just a Summer League title to many, but it was the first of any kind of title the Hornets earned in their team's history.

The Hornets, led by 2025 No. 4 overall pick Kon Knueppel, were able to secure their first Summer League championship after defeating the Sacramento Kings 83-78 on Sunday. Charlotte was the only team to finish the Summer League undefeated at 6-0.

LAS VEGAS -- Kon Knueppel, the fourth pick in this year's draft, scored 21 points and Charlotte held off a Sacramento rally to beat the Kings 83-78 on Sunday for the Hornets' first NBA Summer League title. Ryan Kalkbrenner added 15 points and three other players each scored 11 for the Hornets, who ended their Summer League run with a 6-0 record.
