Hornets' Mark Williams: Still limited to individual drills
Coach Charles Lee said Wednesday that Mark Williams (foot) is still limited to individual drills, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.Williams' continued activity is a good sign, but he's still a few hurdles away from being cleared for game action. With Nick Richards (ribs) sidelined indefinitely, the Charlotte Hornets need all the help they can get, though Williams will presumably be limited upon his return. He's yet to play this season, played only 19 regular-season games last year and made 43 regular-season appearances as a rookie in 2022-23.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Likely several days away from debut
Charlotte Hornets head coach Charles Lee said Friday that Mark Williams (foot) remains limited to participating in individual workouts, James Plowright of SI.com reports.While Williams seems to be making gradual progress in his recovery from a left foot tendon strain after ditching his walking boot a few weeks ago, Plowright suggests that the third-year center is likely at least 5-to-7 days away from making his season debut, in a best-case scenario. Before the team maps out a potential return date for Williams, he'll need to take part in multiple team practices. Nick Richards has been serving as the Hornets' starting center through the first five games of the season, but he exited Friday's 124-109 loss to the Celtics with a shoulder injury and looks to be day-to-day. The Hornets may have to run more small-ball lineups featuring Grant Williams or Moussa Diabate at center if Richards is sidelined along withMark Williams.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Strains tendon in foot
Mark Williams (back) has suffered a tendon strain in his left foot and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.Williams played only 19 games during the 2022-2023 season due to a back injury. He was seemingly on track for a healthy training camp before this new injury. The big man projects to start at center for Charlotte when healthy, but it now looks like he will miss most of training camp. Look for the Charlotte Hornets to err on the side of caution with the big man to avoid another season of lingering injuries. Nick Richards would be primed for a large workload if Williams isn't ready to begin the campaign.
