By Greensboro Swarm Staff /October 26, 2025

October 26, 2025 – The Greensboro Swarm, the NBA G League affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets, announced today its training camp roster ahead of the 2025-26 season. 

The Swarm’s 17-man training camp roster includes three two-way Charlotte Hornets players in KJ Simpson, Drew Peterson and Antonio Reeves and five Swarm returners: Keyontae Johnson, Terrell Brown Jr., Marcus Garrett, Isaih Moore and the Swarm’s all-time leading scorer, Jaylen Sims.

Its offseason also included the addition of the 2024-25 NBA G League blocks leader, Ibou Badji, DJ Rodman, who helped the Hornets capture the NBA Summer League Championship in July, and Brandon Slater via trades. The roster was solidified following its 2025 NBA G League Draft haul, which featured two additions in No. 23 overall pick Olisa Akonobi and undrafted acquisition DJ Burns. 

The Swarm also added the 2025 NCAA Scoring Champion, Eric Dixon, and Jonas Aidoo on the roster as affiliate players, while a pair of local tryout players in Josiah Allick and Jairus Hamilton round out the roster.

Training camp opens Monday, Oct. 27, at Novant Health Fieldhouse, as the Swarm prepare to tip off the 2025-26 campaign on Friday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. ET against the Maine Celtics.
