The Chicago Bulls are sending guards Coby White and the recently acquired Mike Conley Jr. to the Charlotte Hornets for guard Collin Sexton, big man Ousmane Dieng and three second-round picks as part of a three-team trade, ESPN reported on Wednesday afternoon.

The Hornets, who traded center Mason Plumlee to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the deal, also wound up with a 2029 second-round draft pick.

White, who turns 26 on Feb. 16, is averaging 18.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 29.1 minutes in 29 games this season.

For his career, White averages 15.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 29.7 minutes in 451 regular-season games (251 starts). Chicago selected White with the seventh pick of the 2019 NBA Draft out of North Carolina.

Conley, 38, was averaging 4.4 points, 2.9 assists and 18.5 minutes in 44 games (nine starts) with Minnesota in his 19th season in the league. The one-time All-Star (2021) had been with the Timberwolves since the 2023 trade deadline before a reported trade on Tuesday to the Bulls.

Sexton, 27, averaged 14.2 points, 3.7 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 22.3 minutes in 42 games in his first season with Charlotte.

Cleveland selected Sexton with the eighth overall pick of the 2018 draft out of Alabama. He has averaged 18.4 points, 3.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 29.2 minutes in 449 regular-season games (347 starts) for the Cavaliers (2018-22), Utah Jazz (2022-25) and Hornets.

Dieng, 22, had played his entire NBA career with the Thunder and averaged 3.7 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 10.9 minutes in 27 games as a reserve this season.

His career averages are 4.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 12.0 minutes in 136 regular-season games (two starts) over four seasons.

Plumlee, 35, averaged 1.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 8.9 minutes in 14 games (two starts) for Charlotte this season.

The 13-year veteran has career averages of 7.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 21.6 minutes in 874 regular-season games (480 starts) with seven teams.
