What happened: Armstrong signed with the Greensboro Swarm ahead of the 2026-27 season. The guard joins the Charlotte Hornets’ developmental program after earning America East Tournament MVP honors at UMBC.
Why it matters: Greensboro enters the season as the defending NBA G League champion. Armstrong adds perimeter shooting after leading the America East in three-point percentage and makes per game.
By the numbers: Armstrong averaged 13.3 points and 2.7 three-pointers per game while shooting 41.9% from deep in 2025-26. He scored 33 points and made a championship-game-record seven threes in the America East final.
What to watch: Armstrong’s role and roster status will come into focus when Greensboro opens training camp.
