CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A person familiar with the situation said the Charlotte Hornets are trading forward Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round draft pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns for guard Grayson Allen, forward Royce O’Neale and a 2033 first-round pick.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because the trade still needs to be approved by the league.

The Hornets last week traded star point guard LaMelo Ball to Minnesota as part of a larger deal setting off a major restructuring in Charlotte just months after the team improved its win total by 24 games from last season. The Hornets lost in the play-in game to Orlando.

Walsh breaks 50 free mark

ROME — American swimmer Gretchen Walsh broke the world record in the women’s 50-meter freestyle, just nine days after her training partner Kate Douglass had set a new mark in the sprint distance.

Walsh clocked 23.55 seconds at the Sette Colli meet in Rome to shave 0.04 seconds off the record Douglass set in Indianapolis on June 19.

Walsh and Douglass are former teammates at the University of Virginia and still train together.

After seeing her mark bested so quickly, Douglass posted a photo of Walsh on Instagram with the text “was fun while it lasted” and a handshake emoji.

Walsh also holds the short-course world record over 50 meters and the long-course mark in the 100 butterfly.
