Mark Williams has yet to return to the Charlotte Hornets after the trade sending him to the Los Angeles Lakers was rescinded. Charlotte played three road games since the rescinded trade, and Williams was inactive for all three games.
It’s believed that the Hornets are giving Williams time to readjust to being back with the team. In a bit of an odd coincidence, Charlotte’s first game after the All-Star break is on Wednesday at the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers had agreed to acquire Williams, in exchange for Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2030 first-round pick swap and a 2031 first-round pick. After completing a physical with the young center, the Lakers chose to rescind the trade. It was subsequently reported that Los Angeles found multiple things that they were concerned with enough to rescind the trade.
Because the trade deadline had already passed, the Hornets and Lakers were unable to rework the deal. It’s been reported that Charlotte has reached out to the league to see what their options are after Los Angeles rescinded the deal. NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that the Hornets have not filed any form of official complaint with the league.
