Lee Nailon, a suprise player for the Charlotte Hornets in 2001/02, is back with the Hornets.

Nailon and guard Junior Harrington both signed contracts with New Orleans, giving the duo a home for training camp with a chance of earning something more.  

The signings bring the Hornets' preseason roster to 19 players. Only 12 make the active roster, with three others kept on injured reserve.
