The Charlotte Hornets are attempting to dispute the Los Angeles Lakers’ failed physical assessment of Mark Williams, which led to the trade deal being rescinded. The Lakers initially sent rookie Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish, along with draft picks, in exchange for Williams ahead of the deadline last week. However, the deal was called off after Williams’ physical revealed multiple issues.
Williams has struggled with injuries throughout his three-season career with the Hornets, missing nearly 60% of games due to various health concerns. This season, he has only played in 23 games due to a foot injury. Despite this, he has averaged 15.6 points and 9.6 rebounds per game.
The Lakers are now short-handed at center, leaving them to find an alternative solution. The Hornets aim to move on from Williams as an option, but they are exploring options to dispute the failed physical assessment or find a resolution with the league.
