The after-effects of the failed trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets are still taking a toll.
Hornets center Mark Williams was supposed to be a Laker; however, he will now head back to Charlotte after a failed physical exam. While that remains the case, Williams has not returned to the Hornets since the Lakers rescinded the trade.
Rod Boone, an insider for the Hornets, shared that the 23-year-old has yet to return to the team.
“It's believed that the Hornets are giving Williams time to readjust to being back with the team. In a bit of an odd coincidence, Charlotte's first game after the All-Star break is on Wednesday at the Los Angeles Lakers.
