  • Lakers' Mark Williams: Won't make LAL debut Saturday

    Williams (trade pending) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Packers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Williams was traded by the Hornets to the Lakers on Thursday, but he will not be able to make his debut with his new team Saturday as the trade is still pending, per Khobi Price of The Orange County Register. Jaxson Hayes should continue to start for the Lakers until Williams is officially cleared to make his debut, and his next opportunity to do so is Monday against the Jazz.

  • Lakers' Mark Williams: Iffy to make LAL debut Saturday

    Williams (trade pending) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

    Williams was dealt to the Lakers ahead of Thursday's NBA trade deadline in a deal involving Los Angeles sending Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish to the Hornets. However, the 23-year-old big man might not make his debut with his new team Saturday against the Pacers with the trade still pending. If he isn't cleared, Los Angeles will likely start Jaxson Hayes at the center position.

  • Lakers' Mark Williams: Making move to L.A.

    The Lakers acquired Williams from the Hornets on Thursday in exchange for forwards Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish, a 2031 first-round pick and a 2030 first-round pick swap, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Williams will function as Anthony Davis' replacement, as he should immediately step in as the Lakers' new starting center once he's cleared to debut. One of the most promising young big men in the NBA, Williams has one year left on his rookie contract but appears to be in the Lakers' long-term plans. After missing the Hornets' first 20 games of the season due to a left foot tendon strain, Williams returned to action in early December and averaged 16.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks across 25.0 minutes in his 23 appearances for Charlotte before being traded.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Double-double vs. Washington

    Williams supplied 23 points (7-12 FG, 9-10 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 124-114 loss to the Wizards.

    Williams recorded his second straight 20-point double-double Monday and was the Hornets' third-leading scorer behind Miles Bridges and Nick Smith (24 each). Williams has missed three of the Hornets' last six games due to left foot injury management, but he's been effective since making his 2024-25 regular-season debut in early December. He has averaged 19.3 points on 56.8 percent shooting, 12.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks over 30.6 minutes per game since the beginning of January.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Another absence coming

    Williams (foot) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Nuggets.

    Williams is set to miss his third consecutive outing Saturday due to left foot tendon injury management. Per Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer, coach Charles Lee said Friday that Williams' absence from the lineup is about managing his long-term health, so it appears to be a precautionary measure. The 22-year-old center's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Washington.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Set to play Saturday

    Updating a previous report, Williams (foot) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Nuggets.

    Williams will return to action Saturday after missing Charlotte's previous two contests due to left foot tendon injury management. The 22-year-old big man should reclaim the starting center job from Taj Gibson. Williams is averaging 18.9 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 blocks in 30.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

    Williams (foot) won't play in Friday's game versus the Clippers.

    Williams will miss his second straight contest due to left foot tendon injury management Friday. Taj Gibson will likely draw another start in his absence. It wouldn't be surprising for Williams to return to action for the second leg of Charlotte's back-to-back Saturday against Denver.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Sitting out Wednesday

    Williams has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets due to left foot tendon injury management.

    Even though Wednesday's contest is a standalone game, the Hornets will opt to give Williams a breather while the big man has handled a heavy workload of late. After being held under 30 minutes in his first nine appearances since returning from the foot injury Dec. 3 for his season debut, Williams had averaged 30.4 minutes per contest while appearing in 11 of the Hornets' last 12 contests. Williams' absence Wednesday should pave the way for Moussa Diabate and Taj Gibson to cover most of the minutes at center.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Off injury report for Monday

    Williams is off the Hornets' injury report for Monday's matchup versus the Lakers.

    Williams sat out of Saturday's win over the Pelicans due to right foot tendon injury management, though he has been cleared to face off against the Lakers on Monday at home. The big man has averaged 23.2 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals in 32.6 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.

    Williams won't play in Saturday's game versus the Pelicans due to right foot tendon injury management.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Sets new career-high scoring mark

    Williams recorded 38 points (14-18 FG, 10-13 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 loss to the Grizzlies.

    Williams pulverized his previous career-high mark of 31 points, established in a Jan. 15 win over the Jazz, and the big man is going through the most productive stretch of his career. He's averaging 25.0 points and 14.0 rebounds per game over his last five outings, a span in which he's recorded four double-doubles, and he continues to show why he can be among the better big men in the NBA as long as he remains healthy. That has been an issue, though, as Williams has been limited to only 18 games (15 starts) in 2024-25 and 80 total appearances during his three-year career in The Association.

  • Hornets' Mark Williams: Strong in paint in double-double

    Williams accumulated 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 110-105 victory over the Mavericks.

    Williams was a strong presence in the paint for Charlotte in Monday's contest, leading all Hornets in rebounds and blocks while finishing as the lone player with a double-double in a winning effort. Williams has recorded a double-double in six games this season, doing so now in four straight outings.
