The Greensboro Swarm, the NBA G League affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets, announced today that the team has completed a trade with the Sioux Falls Skyforce (Miami Heat Affiliate). In the deal, Greensboro has agreed to trade the returning rights of Gabe Brown and their 2024 second-round pick for Marcus Garrett.
