JT THOR NEWS

Efficient shooting in loss Thor registered 12 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and a steal over 22 minutes in Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Heat.

Impact Thor attempted just 1.8 three-point shots over 69 regular season games last year, but his early willingness to shoot from behind the arc could is promising. He was able to string together four starts at the end of the 2022 year and scored double-digit points in four of his last six games. Thor will have his next chance to show his shooting prowess Thursday against the Wizards.

Solid output in starting role Thor closed with 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-100 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Thor drew reasonably close to a double-double in Tuesday's contest and showed some ability to protect the rim with a pair of swats. He's averaging 10.0 points, 3.6 boards and a block per contest over the last 10 games and should continue to see healthy minutes over the last two regular-season games as the Hornets sit the regulars in the rotation.

Efficient performance off bench Thor chipped in 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 18 minutes during Friday's 117-109 win over Dallas.

Impact Thor has failed to reach the 20-minute mark in eight of his last 10 outings off the bench, but he has remained valuable after scoring nine or more points in four of his previous five contests during that stretch. That said, his contributions are not enough to make him valuable in fantasy, even in the deepest formats.

Sees extended playing time Thursday Thor finished Thursday's 115-96 loss to the Pelicans with nine points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 27 minutes.

Impact With Terry Rozier (foot), Kelly Oubre (shoulder) and Dennis Smith (illness) all leaving the contest early, Thor garnered an increased role and played his second-most minutes of the season. If Rozier and Oubre remain sidelined moving forward, Thor should be a candidate for a similar role on a regular basis, but his fantasy value would likely be tied to his defensive production, as he's scored in double figures just three times this season.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unproductive in 19 minutes Thor provided five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in 19 minutes during Sunday's 114-108 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Thor failed to put up anything close to fantasy-relevant production Sunday, despite logging 19 minutes. Although he has been a consistent part of the rotation for most of the season, his playing time is typically reliant on the production of others. Given he is well outside the top 400 for the season, he should not be on anyone's fantasy radar.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Miami Thor is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Impact Thor will get the nod at power forward over P.J. Washington, who has been ruled out due to a right foot strain. This will be Thor's first start of the campaign, and he's cleared the 20-minute threshold just once during this season.

FEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Used sparingly again Tuesday Thor recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound over 10 minutes during Tuesday's 124-115 loss to the Bucks.

Impact While he has been able to carve out a regular spot in the rotation, Thor remains on the outside looking in when it comes to meaningful minutes. He has played more than 15 minutes only twice in the past three weeks, failing to score more than five points in any of those games. The Hornets are running a tight rotation at the moment, so while he figures to be out there in some capacity, he is not someone to consider, even in deeper formats.

FEBRUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score in 11 minutes Thor recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 11 minutes during Monday's 130-118 loss to Boston.

Impact Thor remains on the fringe of the rotation, playing fewer than 15 minutes for the fifth straight game. In that time, he has scored a combined 15 points, adding a solitary steal and zero blocks. It feels as though he might struggle to have a meaningful NBA career.

Returns to Charlotte The Hornets recalled Thor back to the Hornets on Wednesday.

Impact Thor will end his third G League assignment with the Greensboro Swarm. Thor is averaging 2.5 points and 2.1 rebounds in 10.4 minutes across 14 games for the Hornets this season.

DECEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins Hornets The Hornets recalled Thor from the G League on Saturday.

Impact Thor should provide some depth in the frontcourt for Charlotte and could see brief run in a banged-up Hornets rotation. Even if he does, it's unlikely to be enough for him to warrant fantasy consideration.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to G League Thor was assigned to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Friday.

Impact Thor has bounced back and forth between the two rosters and will be available for the Swarm's upcoming game Friday night. As a fringe rotation piece for the Hornets, he has averaged 2.5 points and 2.1 rebounds in 10.4 minutes per game this season.

DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Hornets Thor was recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Wednesday.

Impact Thor was sent to the G League on Sunday, and he averaged 26.0 points and 9.0 rebounds in 34.2 minutes per game over two appearances with the Swarm. He'll rejoin the parent club but should see significantly less run for the Hornets.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League Thor was assigned to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Sunday.

Impact Thor hasn't seen time in an NBA game since logging three minutes in a loss against the Pacers on Nov. 16, and even when he's been available, he's failed to make an impact. He should see more playing time with Greensboro.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Thrives in garbage time Friday Thor ended Friday's 130-99 loss to the Grizzlies with 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.

Impact Thor, along with a number of his teammates, made the most of garbage time, putting up season-high numbers across the board. While this was a nice performance, history would tell us that it is unlikely to stick. The Hornets were simply blown off the court and so chances are he goes back to being a fringe rotation player in the next game.

NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal production in OT loss Thor totaled two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one block over nine minutes during Wednesday's 134-131 overtime loss to the Knicks.

Impact Thor has had a limited role for the Hornets off the bench early in the season and failed to generate much production during Wednesday's overtime defeat. He's averaged 2.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11.0 minutes per game over three appearances this season.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores nine off bench Thor logged nine points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 99-94 preseason loss to the 76ers.

Impact Thor came off the bench once again during Wednesday's preseason finale, but he had a team-high 28 minutes in the narrow loss. The 20-year-old saw limited playing time for the Hornets as a rookie last year and will likely face an uphill battle for minutes if he begins the 2022-23 campaign with Charlotte.

The 19-year-old Thor is averaging 2.2 points and 1.4 rebounds in 8.5 minutes across 29 appearances with the Hornets during his rookie campaign.

Back to NBA Thor was recalled by the Hornets on Monday.

Impact After a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury, Thor returned to action for the Swarm Sunday, totaling 16 points, six rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes. He isn't expected to garner a big enough role to be fantasy relevant during his latest stint with the NBA club.
