The Charlotte Hornets are getting the band back together.
After nearly a full calendar year (361 days to be exact), Mark Williams is on the precipice of returning to an NBA court to play in a professional basketball game. The beleaguered Hornets center has officially been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday night's NBA Cup matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The absence of the former first round pick out of Duke University has created a seven foot, 240 pound hole in the center of the Hornets front court that has been filled by committee for some time.
