Vasilije Micic had a career-best performance in his debut for the Charlotte Hornets with 115-106 win against the Memphis Grizzlies.
It was evident that in the setup of the Oklahoma City Thunder, he wouldn’t get many opportunities. However, during the last transfer window, he traded the Thunder jersey for that of the Charlotte Hornets. The Serbian point guard has always been a player who thrives with minutes on the court and ball handling to showcase his potential, and he did just that in his very first game in the new uniform.
In this game, Vasilije Micic came off the bench but spent over 26 minutes on the court. During this time, he delivered the best performance of his NBA career so far. He scored 18 points (8/12 from the field) along with an impressive nine assists, albeit with three turnovers.
Looking at specific parameters, this game marks his highest point total, assists, and minutes played in a single NBA match. The only player who outperformed him in the winning team was Miles Bridges with 25 points. Brandon Miller stopped at 18 points, while Grant Williams scored 15. In the losing team, Jaren Jackson Junior led with 29 points.
The Charlotte Hornets are currently in the 13th position in the Eastern Conference with a record of 11-41. This win ended their streak of ten consecutive losses.
