Hornets reportedly trying to dispute Mark Williams' failed physical, which led to Lakers trade being rescinded

The Charlotte Hornets are trying to figure out what to do after their trade with the Los Angeles Lakers failed.

The Hornets have been in contact with the NBA and are exploring their options to dispute the Lakers’ failed physical assessment of Mark Williams, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Monday night. The Hornets are “weighing avenues” to challenge the Lakers’ evaluation process or find an alternative resolution with the league. It’s unclear what that resolution may be.

The Lakers dealt rookie Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish, along with a future draft pick and a pick swap, to the Hornets for Williams ahead of the deadline last week.
