Hornets' Mark Williams: Not playing vs. Bucks
Mark Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.Williams strained a tendon in his left foot before the preseason and was expected to miss a couple of weeks. He ditched his walking boot in mid-October and was considered questionable heading into Opening Night. However, he's remained sidelined for the first four weeks of the regular season and still doesn't have a clear return timetable. Coach Charles Lee said at the beginning of November that Williams remained limited to individual drills, but it sounded like the big man was attempting to gear up for game action in the coming days. The team hasn't released an update since, but Williams should be due for a re-evaluation soon. Until then, we'll continue to treat Williams as day-to-day, but he can be considered doubtful for future contests.

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.
