Former Clemson star PJ Hall gets another shot in the NBA with the Charlotte Hornets
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.

Celtics adding Damian Lillard is an intriguing move toward title contention in 2026-27
Advertisement Secondly, Lillard is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon and could miss most of the next season, similar to Celtics cornerstone Jayson Tatum, meaning he'll be healthy for the 2026-27 season, which is when Tatum is expected to return. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Because the Celtics are likely going to operate in the first salary cap apron, they have a taxpayer midlevel exception available at $5.6 million to offer Lillard, who has only been to one conference finals in his career. He turned 35 on July 15 and playing for a championship is one of the primary reasons why he accepted the trade from Portland to Milwaukee. But because of injuries and an aging Bucks roster, it didn't work out. And Milwaukee, in its quest to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo, decided to dump Lillard, sign Turner, and bring back most of its core. — Advertisement That leaves Lillard as a free agent for the first time in his career and there are plenty of suitors, but perhaps his best chance to winning the long-desired championship is signing with Boston. According to an NBA source, Lillard would consider signing with the Celtics, and the Celtics are indeed interested. A few years ago, Lillard wasn't so keen on coming to Boston when the Trail Blazers were considering trading him. This time, however, he's open to Boston and he has a close friendship with Tatum, as they played together on the 2020 Team USA in Tokyo. Damian Lillard (6) drove on France's Rudy Gobert during the men's basketball gold medal game at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Saitama, Japan. Charlie Neibergall/Associated Press The possibilities of a healthy Lillard joining Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, and a developing Hugo Gonzalez are intriguing for the 2026-27 season. Lillard and Tatum can bond during their Achilles rehab, Lillard could serve as a veteran presence for this year's team, become a mentor for Portland-native Pritchard, and prepare for another Boston championship run in 2026. This is going to be a transition year for the Celtics, a time where they need to find out what younger players they can rely on. And they could lean on players such as the recently signed Luka Garza, Josh Minott, Baylor Scheierman, and rookies Gonzalez, Amari Williams, and Max Shulga. Lillard should return from his injury motivated and primed for an All-Star caliber season, and he won't have to be the primary scorer as in his two previous stops. The Celtics have plenty of enough talent to allow Lillard to ease into his new environment and could field one of the league's best starting fives, depending on who starts at center. Advertisement The priority for president of basketball operations Brad Stevens has to be capitalizing on the primes of Tatum and Brown. Brown turns 29 in October while Tatum will be nearly 29 when he returns for his first full season after rehab. The time is now to maximize their windows and rebuild a championship contending team after the Celtics spend this season in the salary cap penalty box to reset their books. There is little risk to this move. Lillard would earn the midlevel, and if he becomes unhappy or it proves to be a poor fit, the Celtics can always trade him. The team has been searching for a frontline point guard after missing on Kemba Walker. And Lillard, even at his advanced age, could fill that role because his game is based on movement and savvy, not athleticism. And signing Lillard would serve as an indication to Celtics faithful that the team is serious about returning to contention in 2026-27, making this regression season more digestible. Stevens has never been afraid to take chances, to chase veteran players, and the Celtics culture is a good selling point. Damian Lillard (left) is buddies with Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum (right), and if he chooses to sign with Boston they could rehab together from their Achilles injuries. Danielle Parhizkaran/Globe Staff Tatum and Brown could also serve as salesmen for Lillard, who will have his choices of interested teams. But there may not be a better opportunity to win a title than in Boston. He could sign with the Miami Heat, who have been captivated by Lillard for years but have never had the assets to acquire him. If he signs there, the Heat won't be much closer to title contention because they don't have the talent besides Bam Adebayo. He could also return to his native Oakland and play with the nearby Warriors, but aging Golden State may not have enough patience to wait a year for Lillard to join Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler. That quartet would be the NBA's version of an oldies group. Advertisement The Celtics make the most sense. They have the talent to return to prominence after this year of transformation and injury recovery. It offers hope, an intriguing lineup, another clutch scorer and the chance to nab a second ring with this core. The Celtics should be all in on this. There's too much to gain and little to lose.

Game theory: How ‘MLB The Show' became a key part of Lucas Giolito's pre-start preparation
The game has been a central element of Giolito's preparation since 2019. After a dreadful 2018 season (10-13, 6.13 ERA) as a 23-year-old with the White Sox, the righthander recognized the need to change not only how he was attacking hitters, but how he was digesting scouting reports. Advertisement 'I was so bad that I had to make some changes. So that was one of my changes — taking the scouting work more seriously, but also doing it in a way that works for me,' recalled Giolito. 'When I was in high school, I didn't like sitting down and studying for tests. I would always pay attention in class and be an active participant in the classroom, asking questions, talking — active learning. But sitting down with my head in a book and just trying to memorize information was never really my forte." Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up A friend, citing Giolito's enjoyment of video games, suggested it might be a good fit for his learning style. Giolito hadn't played The Show for years, but decided to give it a try. Advertisement The 2019 season was a breakout year. Giolito went 14-9 with a 3.41 ERA and 228 strikeouts for the White Sox, earned an All-Star berth, and finished sixth in AL Cy Young balloting. A Giolito faces off against the computer rather than live opponents. That can produce some unrealistic outcomes at higher difficulty levels, such as early swings on fastballs or low chase rates on some of the pitcher's bread-and-butter swing-and-miss weapons. 'They very rarely swing at balls,' Giolito said, estimating a 5-10 percent swing rate on, say, an 0-2 high fastball. His real-life repertoire is also slightly different; Giolito says he's throwing his slider a few ticks harder than it appears in the game. Still, those nitpicks do little to detract from the overall value of the exercise — or from the positive reinforcement of dominating his opponent. 'There's the visualization aspect, where I'm seeing myself execute the pitches the way I want to, and the sequences I want to execute,' said Giolito. 'I'm seeing it happen and I'm doing it actively.' It does all come with occasional moments of breaking-the-fourth-wall levity. Giolito's play is known to the game's developers, to the point where the play-by-play broadcast 'It's very meta, because as I'm doing it, I hear the announcer describe my process,' said Giolito. 'It's pretty funny.' Not everything about Giolito's experience is flattering. As of the most recent software update of the game in June, the pitcher had a 68 rating — down considerably from the 80s during a 2019-21 peak in which he received Cy Young votes in three straight years. Advertisement That low rating came shortly after Giolito's nadir this year, a seven-run, five-out start In his most recent outing, Giolito had a 54-degree arm angle on his four-seam fastball and an average release height of 6.26 feet — up about 4 degrees and three inches from earlier this year. That slot has allowed his fastball to start beating hitters again at and above the top of the zone, while also setting up his repertoire to work down. The result? Giolito has a 0.72 ERA in those four starts, averaging more than six innings with a 25 percent strikeout rate and 7 percent walk rate. What rating would Giolito (4-1, 3.99 ERA for the season) give this version of himself? 'An 80?' he surmised. 'I don't concern myself too much with [the game rating]. It gets the job done. It still does. … When I play, I pitch great.' On Friday, he will hope that life imitates gaming art. Alex Speier can be reached at
