The 26-year-old appeared in 25 regular-season games for the Hornets last year, during which he averaged 1.3 points and 2.6 rebounds across 12.3 minutes per game.

Joins San Antonio for camp Mensah and the Spurs agreed to a training camp deal Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact Mensah spent time with the Hornets during the 2023-24 regular season, appearing in 25 games with averages of 1.3 points and 2.6 rebounds while on a two-way contract. In San Antonio, Mensah will be facing an uphill battle to claim a final roster spot.

Cut by Hornets Mensah was waived by the Hornets on Saturday.
Impact Mensah appeared in 25 games for the Hornets and averaged 1.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.6 blocks across 12.3 minutes in the process. The 25-year-old will now look for an opportunity elsewhere, but if he doesn't catch on with another NBA team, he'll presumably stick around in the Hornets organization as a member of the G League's Greensboro Swarm.

Sticks in rotation Monday Mensah ended Monday's 128-125 win over the Timberwolves with two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes.
Impact Mensah continues to play as the backup center, logging at least 15 minutes for the third consecutive game. While it has been nice to see him getting a crack at the big time, the fact he is still playing limited minutes even though the team is without its two primary options, does not bode well for his short-term future.

Plays 16 minutes in win Mensah had zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound, two blocks and two steals in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 win over Sacramento.
Impact Mensah played his second-most minutes of the season and was stellar defensively, but he failed to make contributions elsewhere. With the Hornets shorthanded, Mensah has played double-digit minutes in back-to-back games.

Won't play Monday Mensah isn't with the team and has been ruled out for Monday's game in Toronto due to personal reasons.
Impact Mensah made his NBA debut Friday and has appeared in each of the Hornets' last two games, totaling four points, 15 rebounds and one assist in 42 minutes. With Miles Bridges (personal) out, Mark Williams (back) doubtful and P.J. Washington (shoulder) and Gordon Hayward (illness) questionable, the Hornets' frontcourt may be extremely shorthanded, so Nick Richards, JT Thor and Leaky Black are candidates for hefty roles.

Set to sign two-way deal Mensah is set to sign a two-way contract with the Hornets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Mensah, who was undrafted out of San Diego State, has been playing with Charlotte's G League affiliate in Greensboro, but he will get the chance to earn NBA minutes in a depleted frontcourt. However, he's not likely to see meaningful minutes in the short-term scenario. Mensah is averaging 10.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game across 14 appearances with the Swarm at the G League level.
