Hornets' Grant Williams: Tears meniscus, ACL
Williams will miss the remainder of the season after he was diagnosed Sunday with a torn ACL, meniscus and associated ligaments in his right knee following an MRI, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Williams sustained the injury in the fourth quarter of Saturday's loss to the Bucks, when he planted his right leg on a drive to the basket. The 25-year-old will end the season with averages of 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks across 29.9 minutes per game over 16 appearances. Given the severe nature of his injury, Williams could be hard-pressed to return to full health for the start of the 2025-26 season. With Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (ribs) already sidelined with injuries of their own, the Hornets had been leaving more heavily on Grant Williams as an undersized center of late. Grant Williams' absence should lead to increased minutes for Moussa Diabate, Tidjane Salaun and Taj Gibson in the frontcourt until Mark Williams and Richards are able to return.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Helped back to locker room
Williams (leg) went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Bucks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Williams suffered the injury while planting his right leg on a drive to the basket, and he went to the ground after attempting to walk back to the Hornets' bench. He was helped back to the locker room, and given that it's late in the fourth quarter, it doesn't appear that Williams will return to Saturday's contest. Moussa Diabate came in for Williams, and the former should remain on the floor for the rest of the game.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Falls just shy of double-double
Williams chipped in 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 128-114 loss to the Cavaliers.
Williams has come close to grabbing double-digit rebounds a few times this season but wasn't able to snag one more Sunday to record his first double-double of the campaign. He's also seen his scoring production spike of late, as he's put up double figures in three of his last four appearances after doing so only once in his first seven games of the year. As long as Mark Williams (foot) and Nick Richards (ribs) remain sidelined, Grant should continue starting at center and playing 30-plus minutes a night.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Efficient in starting role Tuesday
Williams chipped in 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 114-89 loss to Orlando.
Williams made his second start of the year as the Hornets wanted to shake things up in the frontcourt, and the veteran responded by delivering his second-best scoring output of the season. Plus, Williams has now scored in double digits in three of his last four games, so there's a chance he might remain in a starting role for the foreseeable future. If that's the case, his fantasy upside will be on the rise, too.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Matches season high off bench
Williams finished with 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 overtime loss to Philadelphia.
Williams provided Charlotte with a spark off the bench as he has done most of the season thus far, leading all Hornets second-unit players in scoring while finishing as one of three players with 15 or more points. Williams, who also recorded a game-best trio of blocks and a team-high-tying pair of steals, matched a season high in scoring, a mark he also tallied Oct. 30 against Toronto. The forward has now reached double figures in scoring in three contests this year.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Ejected from Friday's game
Williams was ejected from Friday's game against the Celtics with 2:02 remaining in the fourth quarter after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
With Mark Williams (back) out and Nick Richards (shoulder) leaving the contest early, Grant Williams was thrust into an expanded role at center. He finished with six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes before making a non-basketball play on a Jayson Tatum late in the fourth quarter. If Mark Williams and Richards remain out, Grant Williams could move into the starting lineup Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set with the Celtics.

Williams had 17 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 win over the Raptors.
Williams combined with Tre Mann and Cody Martin to score 68 points off Charlotte's bench in Wednesday's win. Williams is off to a blistering start from beyond the arc this season, converting 47.4 percent of his 4.8 three-point attempts per contest.

Williams provided seven points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to the Heat.
Williams has played 25, 29 and 19 minutes through the first three games of the season. With Josh Green (Achilles), Brandon Miller (hip) and Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, there should be more minutes available for Grant, but thus far, he's failed to capitalize from a fantasy perspective.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Making preseason debut
Williams (hamstring) will play in Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Williams has missed his team's first two exhibitions while on the mend from a right hamstring injury, but he's back at 100 percent and will begin ramping up for the 2024-25 regular season. He's expected to see playing time behind Miles Bridges in the frontcourt Thursday evening.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Ruled out Sunday
Williams has been ruled out of Sunday's preseason opener against the Knicks due to a minor hamstring injury, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Williams tweaked his hamstring near the end of training camp and his status for a return to game action is unclear. The injury is minor, but the club could look to work the 25-year-old back to form slowly until Opening Night. Williams' next opportunity to feature will come Tuesday versus the Heat.

Hornets' Grant Williams: Goes through practice
Williams (ankle) was able to go through Tuesday's practice to open training camp.

The 25-year-old fared well for Charlotte during the regular season, averaging 13.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 30.6 minutes per game. Charlotte is much healthier this time around, however, so it will be interesting to see what type of role Williams is able to carve out for himself.
