Dell Curry is second in playoff game appearances for the Charlotte Hornets franchise.
The Charlotte Hornets have enjoyed their fair share of postseason successes, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Here’s a closer look at the five players that have participated in the most postseason games during team history:
1. David Wesley, 1997-2002 (32 games)
David Wesley spent five seasons in Charlotte, four which featured postseason runs. He averaged a career postseason-best 17.0 points in a 10-game run in 2000-2001 season and 15.8 points per contest the next year.
2. Dell Curry, 1988-98 (25 games)
Dell Curry played 10 seasons with the Hornets and appeared in four playoff runs. He averaged 11.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest in Charlotte’s four-game Eastern Conference quarterfinal-round win over the Boston Celtics in 1993. He was even more productive the following season averaging 12.8 points per game, but the Hornets lost to the Chicago Bulls in the first round.
3. Elden Campbell, 1999-2002 (23 games)
Elden Campbell had three playoff runs with the Hornets. In the 1999-2000 season, he averaged 14.3 points and grabbed 8.3 rebounds. He had another productive series in 2001 where he scored 13.6 points per game and snagged 6.7 rebounds per game.
4. Baron Davis, 1999-2002 (23 games)
Baron Davis appeared in three postseason runs with the Hornets. Davis didn’t start a single game during his first regular season and remained in a minor role during the Hornets’ four-game first-round loss to the Sixers in 2000. But he played a major role in 2001 where he averaged 22.6 points per game and had 3.6 steals as well. Davis’ most prolific Hornets postseason set came in a 3-1 series first-round win over the Magic in 2002, when he complimented his 20.4 points per game with averages of 8.4 assists and 3.6 rebounds.
5. P.J. Brown, 2000-02 (19 games)
P.J. Brown offered his signature rebounding production alongside some reliable scoring during his four Hornets playoff series. Brown’s best all-around postseason set came in the Hornets’ 3-1 first-round win over the Magic in 2002, when he averaged 10.2 points and 9.6 rebounds per game.
