The Charlotte Hornets have done an admiral job at taking on oversized NBA competition with their undersized interior, but their time lacking size seems to be nearing its end. According to Hornets PR, both Nick Richards and Mark Williams both are progressing in their return to play programs.
The former Kentucky Wildcat Richards came out of the gates guns blazing. Richards had compiled three straight double doubles, the last of which being a 24 point, 12 rebound career-best performance for the big man, before suffering a rib injury in a loss to the Boston Celtics on November 11th.
