Hornets send center Nick Richards to Suns for guard Josh Okogie, 3 2nd-round draft picks

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Phoenix Suns acquired center Nick Richards and a second-round pick in 2025 from the Charlotte Hornets for guard Josh Okogie and three future second-round draft picks Wednesday night. Charlotte receives second-round draft picks from the Denver Nuggets in 2026 and 2031, in addition to a second-round draft pick from Phoenix in 2031. The Hornets send a 2025 second-round draft pick, the least favorable between Denver and the Philadelphia 76ers, to the Suns. “It does give us a ton of flexibility and some optionality where we can use those picks in a trade in the future,” Hornets GM Jeff Peterson said of the draft picks.
