Hornets Flew Coby White on Private Jet, Had Chick-Fil-A for Him After Bulls Trade

After the Charlotte Hornets traded for Coby White from the Chicago Bulls in February, White said the team made a point to welcome him quickly—on his appearance Tuesday on The Kyle Bailey Show, he said the Hornets had a private jet ready and Chick-fil-A waiting after the deal. On the court, White contributed immediately for Charlotte, averaging 15.6 points in 21 games and posting 46.1% shooting from the field, 39.1% from 3, and 83.9% at the line. Charlotte beat the Miami Heat in the first play-in game but lost to the Orlando Magic in the second and missed the playoffs again. White was drafted seventh overall in 2019 and is expected to start at point guard this season following Charlotte’s offseason trade of LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
