The shortest player in NBA history will have his jersey retired by the Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets will retire the number 1 jersey of Muggsy Bogues on February 11, 2027, during halftime of the game against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Spectrum Center. The point guard, who is 1.60 meters tall, played ten seasons with the franchise and is its all-time leader in assists and steals. He will be the third player honored by the team, following Bobby Phills and Dell Curry.

Drafted 12th overall by the Washington Bullets in 1987, he joined Charlotte the following year in the expansion draft. During his time with the Hornets, he reached the playoffs three times and retired in 2001, after a brief stint with the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors. In his 889 NBA games, he averaged 7.7 points, 7.6 assists, and 2.6 rebounds.
