A former Clemson standout is headed back to the NBA.

The Charlotte Hornets recalled PJ Hall from the G League’s Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.

Hall has been ruled out for Charlotte’s home game against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday due to right ankle soreness. His next opportunity to potentially play for the Hornets is Friday’s home game against the Indiana Pacers.

In 12 games for Charlotte this season (two starts), Hall has averaged 6.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game while shooting 50.0 percent from the field in 15.6 minutes per game.

Hall signed a two-way contract with the Hornets on Dec. 24, 2025. A second-year pro, he was previously with the Memphis Grizzlies on a two-way contract earlier this season prior to being waived on Nov. 16.

Hall was not drafted in 2024 but instead signed a two-way contract with Denver. He was released by the Nuggets in June 2025.

Hall has appeared in 38 NBA games over two seasons, including 19 with Denver in 2024-25, seven with the Grizzlies this season and his 12 with the Hornets this season.

Hall became just the 14th player in Clemson men’s basketball history to earn first-team All-ACC honors in 2023-24. He averaged 18.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game that season, on his way to Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention honors. His 659 points set the school record for points in a season. Hall finished his career in the top 10 of Clemson’s all-time scoring list (1,702 points).
