Mark Williams’ training camp is already over before it even begins.
The Charlotte Hornets announced late Friday night that the third-year center suffered a strained tendon in his left foot during an offseason workout Thursday, sidelining him for at least two weeks.
That means Williams will miss the Hornets’ four-day training camp that begins Tuesday, coincidentally at the place he played college basketball — Duke University. It’s a blow for a team that is hoping to change its health fortunes after finishing only behind Memphis over the last two seasons in player games lost because of injury.
