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3, after his status had been in limbo since Charlotte agreed to trade him to the Lakers on Feb. 6 before Los Angeles rescinded the deal two days later due to concerns about the center's physical.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.
