The Charlotte Hornets added their No. 1 draft pick Thursday when Alonzo Mourning ended his holdout and signed a six-year contract reportedly worth $26.25 million.
Mourning was to travel with the team to Indianapolis and will suit up for tonight’s game against the Pacers.
Team officials said that they got the money to pay Mourning by restructuring the contract of sixth man Dell Curry, who agreed to defer $450,000 of his salary.
