Hornets' Mark Williams: Quiet night in defeat
Williams posted four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 134-102 loss to Atlanta.
Williams was quiet on the offensive end in the loss, tying his lowest scoring output of the season despite playing double-digit minutes. On the bright side, the big man recorded multiple blocks and steals for just the third time in 35 regular-season appearances. Additionally, Williams logged at least five assists for the fifth time this season.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Excellent stretch continues Sunday
Williams supplied 18 points (9-15 FG), 15 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 123-88 loss to the Clippers.
It was the 16th double-double of the year for Williams, who led the Hornets in scoring and rebounding Sunday. The 2022 first-rounder tends to sit out one leg of back-to-back sets, but he's been exceptional when available in March. Over his last seven contests, Williams has averaged 16.9 points, 11.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 28.2 minutes while shooting 69.4 percent from the field.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Double-doubles in return
Williams logged 24 points (9-13 FG, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 105-102 win over the Heat.
Williams returned from a two-game absence due to a foot injury and not only recorded a double-double but filled the stat sheet admirably, notching at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Williams has been productive since his proposed trade to the Lakers got rescinded in early February. The big man is averaging 16.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game since the end of the All-Star break.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Off injury report for Monday
Williams (foot) isn't listed on Charlotte's injury report for Monday's game against the Heat.
Williams missed both halves of Charlotte's recent back-to-back set but will return to action Monday. Over his last five appearances, Williams has averaged 17.2 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 29.0 minutes per game.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Ruled out Saturday
Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Williams will miss a second consecutive game while managing his left foot injury. Charlotte will be thin in the frontcourt, with Jusuf Nurkic (neck) likely not playing in this game either. Moussa Diabate, Taj Gibson and Tidjane Salaun will likely see a boost in minutes Saturday against Brooklyn.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Ruled out against Cleveland
Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Williams continues to manage a left foot issue and is likely sitting out the first game of a back-to-back as a precaution. Jusuf Nurkic (back) will likely see a boost in minutes if he's cleared, as the veteran big man is currently listed as probable for Friday.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Continues to thrive
Williams finished with 24 points (11-14 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 113-100 loss to the Wizards.
Williams posted a third straight double-double, and the big man continues to play at a high level after his trade to the Lakers before the Feb. 6 deadline was rescinded. Williams is averaging 16.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game since the All-Star break, and a strong argument could be made he's been the team's second-best player in that stretch behind LaMelo Ball.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Big double-double Thursday
Williams finished with 26 points (10-18 FG, 6-7 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 103-96 loss to the Mavericks.
Williams capitalized on a depleted Mavericks frontcourt by registering his 10th double-double of the season and scoring a game-high 26 points Thursday. The star big man has been rolling since the middle of January, as evidenced by his averages of 18.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 blocks in 30.0 minutes while shooting 54.4 percent from the field across his last 14 appearances. As long as he stays healthy, Williams should continue playing a featured role in the middle for the injury-ravaged Hornets.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Logs double-double in loss
Williams provided 12 points (6-12 FG), 12 rebounds and three blocks across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 128-92 loss to the Warriors.
Williams was the top rebounder of the game, but poor results from his first-unit teammates sealed the Hornets' fate Tuesday. Since failing to move at the trade deadline after the Lakers negated the deal, Williams' future has been in limbo. Between Williams and the newly-acquired Jusuf Nurkic, the team will likely settle on starting Williams as they limp to the finish, provided he stays healthy.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Available for Tuesday
Williams (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
As expected, Williams will be back in the mix after resting for the front end of this back-to-back set. Williams' return will likely push Jusuf Nurkic to the bench, and Moussa Diabate may find minutes hard to come by. Williams is averaging just 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last two games.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Won't play Monday vs. Kings
Williams has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings due to left foot injury management.
With the Hornets beginning their back-to-back set Monday, Williams will be held out of the first leg in order to manage his left foot injury but should be available for the second leg Tuesday against the Warriors. He's played two games for the Hornets since his trade to the Lakers was rescinded and has averaged 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 25.0 minutes per game over that span. Jusuf Nurkic and Moussa Diabate should both see increased playing time Monday due to Williams' absence.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Will play Saturday vs. Blazers
Williams (conditioning) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Portland.
Williams did not play in the second game of the Hornets' back-to-back set Thursday against the Nuggets due to conditioning, but he has been given the all clear to play Saturday. Williams is averaging 15.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 blocks over 25.2 minutes per game this season.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Ruled out Thursday
Williams (conditioning) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Williams will be sidelined for the second game of a back-to-back on the road Thursday against the Nuggets. The 22-year-old big man missed six games before playing in Wednesday's win against the Lakers in Los Angeles, where he came one rebound shy of a double-double with 10 points, nine boards and two assists. The Hornets will likely turn to Jusuf Nurkic and Moussa Diabate to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Logs 29 minutes in return
Williams registered 10 points (3-7 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 100-97 win over the Lakers.
Though he missed the Hornets' final six games before the All-Star break in the aftermath of his trade to the Lakers being nixed due to a failed physical, Williams rejoined Charlotte following the All-Star break and took back his spot in the starting five. Since he wasn't returning from an injury, Williams didn't operate with any sort of playing-time restriction in his return, as he handily outpaced backup Jusuf Nurkic (18) in minutes. Whatever physical concerns prompted the Lakers to rescind the trade don't look to be concerning enough for the Hornets to hold Williams out of action, though the third-year big man could still be a candidate to rest in one half of back-to-back sets. As such, Williams may end up sitting out Thursday's game in Denver.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Cleared to play Wednesday
Williams (conditioning) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Williams hadn't played in any of the Hornets' last six games after his trade to the Lakers was rescinded due to a failed physical, but after rejoining the team over the All-Star break and returning to practice, he'll get the green light to play in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Given that the 23-year-old big man was not dealing with an injury, he shouldn't face a strict minutes restriction. Over his last 10 appearances for the Hornets, Williams has averaged 20.0 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 blocks in 31.5 minutes.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Expected to play Wednesday
Williams is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers due to return-to-play reconditioning.
Williams looks poised to make his first appearance for the Hornets since Feb. 3, after his status had been in limbo since Charlotte agreed to trade him to the Lakers on Feb. 6 before Los Angeles rescinded the deal two days later due to concerns about the center's physical. The Hornets opted to hold the 23-year-old big man out through the All-Star break, but he has since rejoined the team and will resume his career in Charlotte. Williams will presumably step back in as the club's starting center after he had averaged 19.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 blocks in 30.6 minutes over his 12 appearances dating back to the start of January.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Links back up with team
Williams returned to Charlotte over the All-Star break and is expected to resume playing with the Hornets in the aftermath of his rescinded trade to the Lakers, James Plowright of CLTure.org reports.
The Hornets agreed to trade Williams to the Lakers on Feb. 6, only for the Lakers to rescind the deal two days later when the club detected multiple concerns with the third-year center's medical record that resulted in him failing his physical. Though Shams Charania of ESPN reported Feb. 10 that the Hornets planned to get in contact with the league to dispute the Lakers' findings, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said over the weekend that Charlotte never filed a formal protest of the rescinded trade, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. While reintegrating Williams may make for some awkwardness after the Hornets attempted to trade him away, the 22-year-old should step back in as Charlotte's starting center coming out of the All-Star break. As Plowright notes, the Lakers failed his physical because of long-term concerns about his health, not due to any current injury. If Williams is in fact back in action with the Hornets to begin the second half, he'll be playing against the team he was nearly traded to in the Lakers, as the two squads are set to play Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Now ruled out Wednesday
Williams (not with team) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Magic.
Though Williams wasn't included on the initial injury report Charlotte released for Wednesday's game, the center still hasn't rejoined the Hornets while the team attempts to challenge the findings from the 23-year-old big man's physical that caused a trade that would have sent him to the Lakers to be rescinded. Until the matter is resolved, Moussa Diabate (eye) should continue to start, with Taj Gibson and Jusuf Nurkic handling the backup center minutes.
