Lakers' trade for Hornets' Mark Williams rescinded over reported issues with physical

The Los Angeles Lakers‘ trade to acquire center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets has been rescinded, the team announced Saturday night.

The deal was scrapped “due to failure to satisfy a condition of the trade,” the Lakers announced in a brief statement. The Lakers provided no more details of their reason for scrapping the deal, but multiple issues popped up on Williams’ physical with the Lakers, ESPN reported. None of the issues were related to his back, ESPN added in its report. 

Williams has only played 85 games in his two-plus seasons in the NBA, missing time mostly due to back injuries. 

The Hornets later released a statement welcoming Williams back into the fold.

The Lakers agreed to trade rookie Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish along with draft considerations Wednesday night to get Williams, a third-year center. Los Angeles needed a big man to replace Anthony Davis, who was traded to Dallas along with Max Christie for Luka Doncic.

Charlotte also was supposed to receive the Lakers’ first-round pick in 2031 and a first-round pick swap in 2030.

The cancellation of the trade throws yet another element of upheaval into the Lakers, who have won five straight and 11 of 13 despite their tumultuous roster moves.

Los Angeles beat Indiana 124-117 earlier Saturday without LeBron James and Doncic.

The Lakers are now without a proven big man to play alongside Jaxson Hayes, who was expected to move to the bench after Williams arrived. Their backup center against the Pacers was 6-foot-10 Trey Jemison III, who joined the Lakers less than four weeks ago and has played for four teams in the past two seasons.
