McGowens was taken by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 40th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He was then traded to the Charlotte Hornets.

About a week ago, McGowens inked a two-way deal with the Hornets, meaning he will split time between the NBA and the Hornets G-League team, the Greensboro Swarm.

The NBA Summer League runs from July 7th-17th. The NBA regular season starts on October 18, 2022.
