Mark Williams Fails Physical, Heading Back To Charlotte
1 min agoAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, the trade between the Lakers and Hornets involving center Mark Williams and forward Dalton Knecht was voided. Both teams agreed on the deal ahead of the deadline. However, it was contingent on both players passing a physical. Per Charania, Williams failed his physical, with the Lakers medical staff finding "multiple issues," none of which were related to his pre-existing back injury. It's unknown if Williams is healthy enough to play. But if he is sidelined, Jusuf Nurkic, who was acquired by the Hornets from the Suns, and Moussa Diabate will handle things in the middle.
