Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (knee) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Williams will sit out the back end of the team's back-to-back due to knee injury management. Williams finished with three points, one rebound, one assist and two steals across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Trail Blazers. His next chance to return to the floor is Saturday on the road against the Spurs. Extra minutes will likely be distributed to Sion James, who collected 11 points in his last outing on Tuesday after scoring a combined 12 points in the previous three contests.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (knee) will rejoin the lineup on Friday against the Miami Heat. He hasn't been listed on the injury report after sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday against Boston. Williams has contributed 7.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 19.9 minutes per game since recovering from a bad knee injury and making his season debut on Jan. 10. On Friday, Williams might be slightly more productive on the offensive end, as Miami allows the sixth-most bench points in the Association.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (knee) will sit out Thursday's meeting with his former team, the Dallas Mavericks. The Hornets conclude a back-to-back set, and, understandably, Williams won't feature on Thursday after returning from a serious knee injury only a few weeks ago. Across his first eight outings of the campaign, Williams has contributed 4.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 17.4 minutes. His numbers should pick up soon once Williams gets more comfortable on the court, as he is currently making under 32 percent of his field-goal attempts. With Williams out on Thursday, Tidjane Salaun could re-enter the rotation.

Charlotte Hornets PR announced that Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) won't suit up against the Orlando Magic on Thursday due to right knee injury management. Williams has played in five games this season since recovering from an ACL tear that kept him out of action since November 2024. With Williams sidelined, Josh Green and Sion James could land expanded roles in the Hornets frontcourt during tonight's clash.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) will be active on Saturday night against the Utah Jazz. He's in line for his season debut after recovering from an ACL tear. Williams hasn't played since November 2024. It will be good to see him back on the court, but the 27-year-old is likely to have a strict minutes restriction. Once he's back at 100 percent, Williams will compete for playing time with Josh Green, Tidjane Salaun, and Sion James.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) has been ruled out for the team's season opener on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Williams is still recovering from knee surgery, and there isn't a specific date set for his return. However, considering it's been 11 months since Williams injured his right knee, his comeback could be close. Josh Green (shoulder) also won't be available for the start of the season, which may give rookie Kon Knueppel a large workload right off the bat. The injuries could also open up additional minutes for Tidjane Salaun and Tre Mann.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) will not participate in training camp, Roderick Boone of the Charlotte Observer reports. Williams tore his right ACL in late November of last year and needs more time to rehabilitate before he can rejoin the action. The 26-year-old does not have a specific timeline for his recovery, but Boone notes that he may not be "far off" from returning. Before injuring his knee, Williams enjoyed a decent start to life in Charlotte, posting 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. However, due to the serious nature of the injury, it might take some time before Williams can consistently produce similar numbers.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) is progressing well and "hitting milestones." The 26-year-old saw his 2024-25 campaign come to an end on Nov. 23, when he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during a game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Before the injury, Williams averaged 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 steals over 29.9 minutes per game. Williams showed that he can make a fantasy impact as a member of the Hornets, but it remains to be seen whether he will reach similar performance levels next season. After undergoing surgery in December, Williams was ruled out for 9-12 months, meaning he might not return to action before 2026.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) received some bad news following his exit from Saturday's contest. Williams is reportedly expected to miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL. This is a tough break for the Hornets as Williams was playing big minutes for them. He's averaging 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 29 minutes per game this season. The Hornets are already banged up with Nick Richards (ribs) and Mark Williams (foot) sidelined right now. In the short term, Moussa Diabate figures to see more minutes in the rotation. Once healthy, Richards should have a significant role and is looking like a great stash where he's available.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) will take the court against the Pacers on Friday despite dealing with some lower back soreness earlier in the day. He was initially listed as probable after sustaining the injury during Wednesday's win over the Pistons. With Miles Bridges (knee) out, the 25-year-old is expected to be part of the starting lineup. Across eight contests, Williams is averaging 8.6 points, 2.6 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) won't play in Friday's matchup with the Celtics. He's battling a sprained right ankle. But with the Hornets having nothing left to play for, Williams likely won't see the floor again this season. With Nick Richards (foot) also out, Williams could have handled things at the five. But with both men out, Aleksej Pokusevski is nearly a lock for all DFS contests.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) has received a questionable tag on Friday for a revenge game against the Boston Celtics. The former Celtic has been inconsistent to say the least, but he's hit a bit of a rhythm lately as he continues to be a starter for the Hornets. With a lot of the core not able to play, Williams is likely to get as many opportunities as possible if he plays in this game. It's unclear if the Celtics are going to be resting their starters since their injury report hasn't been submitted, but Williams' value would increase if that was the case. If he can't suit up, however, Davis Bertans and Aleksej Pokusevski would be quality streaming options.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (ankle) has received the all-clear to play against the Magic on Friday. He's carrying a right ankle sprain, but the team has upgraded Williams from probable to available. The 25-year-old has been a starter for the last couple of games, putting in a pair of mixed performances. He was limited to only five points on Wednesday versus Portland but started the week with a 23-point effort against Boston. A meeting with the slow-paced Magic is a rough matchup for Williams, although he has put in sold work since moving to Charlotte, averaging 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 30.1 minutes.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Williams has been dealing with a right ankle injury that placed a questionable tag on him last game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Charlotte started him and proved he was healthy enough to play 33 minutes. Williams' increased role in the offense sees him averaging 14.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 three-pointers made over the past twelve games. The Hornets are limping to the end of another bad season, and players like Williams will get every chance to show their value for the future on a limited roster.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (ankle) will make a second consecutive start on Wednesday against Portland. He has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of the contest. Williams has taken over as the starting center following Nick Richards' (foot) exit from the lineup. Richards wasn't on the initial injury report but has now been ruled out for the game. Williams put up 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds in his previous start against Boston. He should have another good game against a weak Trail Blazers squad.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Williams has been playing heavier minutes for Charlotte lately, but his status is up in the air with a right ankle sprain. Nick Richards is off the injury list to give them more depth at the center position. Reserves like Davis Bertans, JT Thor, Aleksej Pokusevski, and Marques Bolden will receive more minutes if injuries allow it. Williams averaged 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers on 57% shooting from the field over his most recent five games to make him a valuable fantasy option if cleared to play.

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's matchup against Boston. He'll be sidelined with right plantar fascia as Charlotte finishes off a back-to-back. Grant Williams will be brought into the starting unit as Richards' replacement. This will be a tough matchup for Williams against his former team, but he'll no doubt be eager to impress. The 25-year-old has averaged 13.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in four previous starts with the Hornets.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers. After logging 30 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Williams is good to go on the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back despite dealing with a lower back contusion. Having grown up in North Carolina, the 25-year-old stretch four has carved out a sizable bench role with the 15-44 Hornets and is providing 13.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 three-pointers on 37.8% shooting from deep in 28.1 minutes per game in eight contests since landing at the Feb. 8 trade deadline. Williams is worth streaming in fantasy for points and threes as Charlotte's sixth man on Friday, but with this matchup versus the Sixers showing a low 214.5-point implied total, it's probably not the suitable game environment to be digging into the bargain bin for DFS purposes.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) is probable for Friday's matchup against Philadelphia. The former Celtic is troubled by a lower back contusion, but it looks like he will be able to play through the ailment. Williams has been in the lineup for eight consecutive games for the Hornets, and he's found a new lease of life in Charlotte following his disappointing stint in Dallas. Williams has averaged 13.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 28.1 minutes with the Hornets while leading the second unit. However, Friday's game might not be a good matchup for him because Philadelphia has a good defensive record against opposing benches, with only six teams having allowed fewer bench points.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (recently traded) and guard Kyle Lowry won't suit up for Friday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Williams could eventually play a meaningful role for the Hornets upon his debut, so while he's worth watching in season-long fantasy leagues, the 25-year-old won't play on Friday. Lowry's status is worth noting because general manager Mitch Kupchak previously stated the veteran guard wouldn't play before Thursday's trade deadline. Lowry remains away from the team, meaning they could still be working toward a buyout. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Mark Williams (back) on the shelf, Charlotte is going to be razor-thin both inside and out on Friday. The offense will center around Miles Bridges and Brandon Miller, but it's a nightmarish draw against a Bucks team that was just blown out on their home floor on Thursday.
