Perry Ellis will attend training camp with the Charlotte Hornets.

Ellis averaged 5.0 points and 2.8 rebounds per game for the Dallas Mavericks during the NBA summer league in Las Vegas.

Ellis underwent surgery for a sports hernia this week but is expected to be back in time for the start of camp.

“It’s a really good fit. They like him a lot. They’ve talked about him all summer,” agent Mark Bartelstein said of the Hornets. “We think it’s got a chance to be a really good opportunity for him. Coaches there are excited to have him. He has to get himself healthy here the next couple weeks. Then he’ll go into camp and compete.”
