NBA Commissioner addresses Hornets-Lakers trade controversy

The NBA commissioner addressed the controversy surrounding a recent trade between the Charlotte Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Earlier this month, the Hornets traded center Mark Williams to Los Angeles in exchange for two players and future draft picks.

However, within 48 hours of the announcements, the Lakers rescinded that trade.

This was due to Williams failing a physical exam, according to ESPN.
