Lakers Trade for Mark Williams Rescinded

The trade to the Los Angeles Lakers for Charlotte Hornets big man Mark Williams has been called off, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania:

Lakers say the Mark Williams/Dalton Knecht trade has been rescinded.

Subsequent reporting by Bobby Marks suggest a failed physical was the reason:

The trade was conditional on Mark Williams and Dalton Knecht reporting and passing a physical. Because the deadline has passed, the trade was not allowed to be amended. Williams goes back to Charlotte. Knecht/Cam Reddish to LAL. The draft conditions: 2030 swap and 2031 unprotected first are voided.
