Grant Williams (back) will take the court against the Pacers on Friday despite dealing with some lower back soreness earlier in the day. He was initially listed as probable after sustaining the injury during Wednesday's win over the Pistons. With
Miles Bridges (knee) out, the 25-year-old is expected to be part of the starting lineup. Across eight contests, Williams is averaging 8.6 points, 2.6 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game.

Grant Williams (ankle) has received a questionable tag on Friday for a revenge game against the Boston Celtics. The former Celtic has been inconsistent to say the least, but he's hit a bit of a rhythm lately as he continues to be a starter for the Hornets. With a lot of the core not able to play, Williams is likely to get as many opportunities as possible if he plays in this game. It's unclear if the Celtics are going to be resting their starters since their injury report hasn't been submitted, but Williams' value would increase if that was the case. If he can't suit up, however,
Davis Bertans and
Aleksej Pokusevski would be quality streaming options.

Grant Williams (ankle) has received the all-clear to play against the Magic on Friday. He's carrying a right ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded Williams from probable to available. The 25-year-old has been a starter for the last couple of games, putting in a pair of mixed performances. He was limited to only five points on Wednesday versus Portland but started the week with a 23-point effort against Boston. A meeting with the slow-paced Magic is a rough matchup for Williams, although he has put in sold work since moving to Charlotte, averaging 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 30.1 minutes.

Grant Williams (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Williams has been dealing with a right ankle injury that placed a questionable tag on him last game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Charlotte started him and proved he was healthy enough to play 33 minutes. Williams' increased role in the offense sees him averaging 14.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 three-pointers made over the past twelve games. The Hornets are limping to the end of another bad season, and players like Williams will get every chance to show their value for the future on a limited roster.
