Mark Williams Questionable To Face Thunder

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City. The talented big man is nursing a sore left thumb.

Brandon Miller Iffy For Saturday's Action

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Oklahoma City.
