PJ Hall is getting another shot in the NBA Summer League, this time closer to home.
After being released by the Denver Nuggets, Hall has signed on to play with the Charlotte Hornets this summer. The former Clemson star spent this past season with Denver on a two-way deal, appearing in 19 games for the Nuggets while also logging time with their G League affiliate.
In limited NBA action, the 6-foot-10, 245-pound forward averaged 1.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in just under four minutes per game, connecting on 58% of his field goal attempts. Hall showed more of his offensive game in the G League, where he put up 19.2 points and 12.5 rebounds per contest across 13 appearances for the Grand Rapids Gold.
Hall, who went undrafted in 2024, originally joined Denver to reunite with another Clemson product, Hunter Tyson. Tyson was drafted in the second round in 2023 and traded to the Nuggets organization, giving Clemson fans two familiar faces to watch at the pro level.
During his time at Clemson, Hall developed into one of the program’s all-time standouts. He was named first-team All-ACC in his final season, pouring in 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game on his way to AP All-America honorable mention honors. He finished with 1,702 career points, putting him in the top 10 in Clemson scoring history, and his 659 points last season set a new single-season program record.
Now, Hall will look to build on that college legacy and strong G League production as he tries to earn a spot with the Hornets ahead of next season.
